Tell us about your first encounter with science
I was 12: I was a strong reader and a loyal fellow of the civic library. Books being the main source of my knowledge, I thought everything in the world had already been discovered. At the beginning of the school year, my new science teacher introduced a small aquarium to the classroom. He put in a mug full of water from a waterhole and asked the... Read more »

Profile: Tora Smulders-Srinivasan
by Susan Steinhardt in The PostDoc Forum
All she needed to know to fall in love with molecular biology, Dr. Tora Smulders-Srinivasan learned at 15 years old, in her tenth grade biology class. While she had been aware of basic hereditary concepts, Tora hadn’t been exposed to DNA, genetics, RNA, translation, or transcription until then. In that classroom, Tora says, she fell in love. “I loved the whole idea of DNA. The fact that there is a molecule that transfers between generations – and that is what sets up the whole ........

Profile: Christie Wilcox
by Susan Steinhardt in The PostDoc Forum
Christie Wilcox is now passionate toward conservation biology, although she didn’t originally start off that way. While she always had an affinity to nature and animals, she didn’t realize that she wanted to be a biologist until she “stumbled” upon it in college. “When I’m at the beach and everyone is running away from jellyfish, I get excited and run up closer to check it out!”
Wilcox began at Eckerd College in St. Petersburg, Florida, as a double ma........ Read more »
