Field-Of-Study: Organismic Biology & Ecology

I am an assistant professor in the Department of Genetics at Harvard Medical School and Orthopedic Research at Boston Children’s Hospital.  The work in my lab focuses on understanding the genetic regulation of development and how development translates the information encoded in our genomes into complex integrated systems of an organism.  Our question is if

A professor at both the University of Oregon and the Santa Fe Institute, Jessica Green is an engineer and ecologist who specializes in biodiversity theory and microbial systems.  She co-founded the Biology and the Built Environment (BioBE) Center with Brendan Bohannan and G. Z. (Charlie) Brown, creating a team that bridges biology and architecture. Jessica

Laura Landweber is a Professor of Biology in the Department of Ecology & Evolutionary Biology at Princeton University. She received her A.B. summa cum laude from Princeton in 1989 and her Ph.D. from Harvard University in 1993 working with Walter Gilbert and Richard Lewontin.  Before returning to Princeton as an assistant professor in 1994, she

Rafe Sagarin is a marine ecologist and environmental policy analyst. He is currently documenting the transformation in science back towards primarily observational, rather than experimental, methodologies. This work follows from his own experience using natural history observations and historical data sets from writers, naturalists, artists, and gamblers to reassemble historical patterns of ecosystem change, including

I received a B.Sc. (1988) and a Ph.D. (1992) from Stanford University. Having joined the faculty at the University of British Columbia in 1995, I am currently a full professor in the Department of Zoology and director of the Biodiversity Research Centre. I am co-author of a book, A Biologist’s Guide to Mathematical Modeling in

Josh Donlan is the Executive Director of Advanced Conservation Strategies, whose purpose is to deliver innovative, self-sustaining, and economically efficient solutions to environmental challenges by building cross-sector synergy and integrating biological, economic, technological, and socio-political threats and opportunities. He leads the organization by building interdisciplinary teams to tackle problems in novel ways. Trained as an

Dr. L. Scott Mills is a Professor in the Wildlife Biology Program in the College of Forestry and Conservation at the University of Montana. His research across normally disparate scientific disciplines has led to key advances in applying ecological science to wildlife conservation, including new insights into how genetic variation affects persistence of wild species,
