The Biology Department continues to develop new pedagogical approaches to educate our students. From the use of case studies and process oriented guided inquiry learning (POGIL) to flipped classes, we are dedicated to the innovative teaching that will prepare our students for the challenging world they will encounter. Here is a video showing Alex Escobar's recently flipped class for BIO 301 (Biochemistry). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lx1QcIIBTfI

President Wagner has just named Bruce Levin to deliver the 2016 Distinguished Faculty Lecture. Look for the announcement for February 2016. Congratulations, Bruce!

Andreas Fritz was honored on March 25 as a new member of the Emory MilliPub Club. The MilliPub Club was formed in 2009 to honor and recognize Emory faculty who have published one or more individual papers that have each garnered more than 1000 citations. Such a paper is commonly considered a citation classic and represents high impact scholarship.
