    Biology 197: Principles of Organismal Biology Section B: T, R 9:30–10:45 AM Section D: T, R 1:30–2:45 PM Spring 2011 Birck Hall 003 Instructor: Dr. Phil Novack‐Gottshall Office: Birck 332 E‐mail: Blackboard mail preferred Office hours: T 11–1:30, W 11–1, R 11–12:30 (or pnovack‐[email protected]) or by appointment Course Description Organismal biology is one of the major branches of biology and is concerned with all aspects of the life of organisms, including their biodiversity, anatomical structure, physiology, development, biogeography, and ecology. This course is an introductory course required for all biological sciences majors, but it is also useful for gaining basic biological literacy and for those pursuing careers in human and veterinary medicine, psychiatry, agriculture, forestry, microbiology, conservation, ecology, paleontology, environmental science, law, political science, and even cooking, cheese making, and brewing of alcohol. In this class, we will learn the major groups of animals, fungi, plants, protists, algae, and bacteria; their basic characteristics; and how biologists study these organisms to understand their rich evolutionary history, ecological interactions, amazing adaptations, and relevance to humans and other species. In particular, you will practice learning how to view the world and to think like an organismal biologist. Learning objectives 1) Explain the scientific method of organismal biologists to understand the natural world. 2) Identify the major lineages of life through study of their biodiversity, anatomy, physiology, development, behavior, biogeography, fossil record, and ecology. 3) Explain the significance of major transitions in organismal evolution: photosynthesis, endosymbiosis, sexual reproduction, multicellularity, skeletonization, cephalization, terrestrialization, mobility, and carnivory, among others.

  • Wildlife Biologist
    MICHIGAN CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSION JOB SPECIFICATION WILDLIFE BIOLOGIST JOB DESCRIPTION Employees in this job complete and oversee a variety of professional wildlife management and conservation assignments to protect, develop and maintain wildlife populations and habitats on public and private lands throughout the state for environmental, economic and recreational purposes. There are four classifications in this job. Position Code Title - Wildlife Biologist-E Wildlife Biologist 9 This is the entry level. As a trainee, the employee carries out a range of professional wildlife biologist assignments while learning the methods of the work. Wildlife Biologist 10 This is the intermediate level. The employee carries out an expanding range of professional wildlife biologist assignments in a developing capacity. Wildlife Biologist P11 This is the experienced level. The employee performs a full range of professional wildlife biologist assignments in a full-functioning capacity. Considerable independent judgement is required to carry out assignments that have significant impact on services or programs. Guidelines may be available, but require adaptation or interpretation to determine appropriate courses of action. Position Code Title - Wildlife Biologist-A Wildlife Biologist 12 This is the advanced level. The employee may function as a lead worker or senior worker. At this level, employees are responsible for overseeing the work assignments of other professionals or have regular assignments which have been recognized by Civil Service as having significantly greater complexity than those assigned at the experienced level. NOTE: Employees generally progress through this series to the experienced level based on satisfactory performance and possession of the required experience. JOB DUTIES NOTE: The job duties listed are typical examples of the work performed by positions in this job classification.

  • Molecular and Cellular Biologist DELFT, the NETHERLANDS
    01/04 Molecular and Cellular Biologist DELFT, THE NETHERLANDS About Meatable We are on a mission to make 100% real, delicious meat, without the negative impact on our climate and the need to raise and slaughter animals. The Meatable approach for creating ‘cell-based’ meat is based on ground-breaking proprietary technology that was developed at The University of Cambridge and allows us to turn induced pluripotent stem cells iPSCs) into muscle and fat cells, creating 100% real, delicious, guilt free meat. We use iPSCs because they have amazing benefits that enable affordable, at scale production (e.g. they are pluripotent, grow completely serum free, have unlimited proliferation capacity and can grow in suspension). With our technology, scalable cell-based meat production is becoming a reality. We are a young and fast-growing company and are entering our next wave of growth. Given our size, new team members will be a huge part of our motivated multidisciplinary team. Our culture encourages everybody on the team to actively shape their position and we provide ample opportunities for personal and professional growth. 02/04 Molecular and Cellular Biologist DELFT, THE NETHERLANDS About the role As our Molecular and Cellular Biologist you will lead our molecular and cellular biology laboratory and genetic engineering efforts. As a key member of our cell line develop- ment team, you will be working closely with our team of iPSC experts to create iPSC lines from different animal species using CRISPR/CAS gene editing in combination with our OPTI-OX technology. A significant part of the role will be the performing of studies to guarantee that our patented animal cell lines perform at their absolute best.

  • THREE BOOKS on the HISTORY of BIOLOGY for Those Interested in the History of Science, There Are Many Roads Available to Learning About the Past
    No. 3 BOOK REVIEWS 351 THREE BOOKS ON THE HISTORY OF BIOLOGY For those interested in the history of science, there are many roads available to learning about the past. Comparison of three recent books is enlightening because of the very diverse approaches to the history of biology. Overtures to Biology: The Speculations of Eighteenth Century Naturalists. P. C. Ritterbush. Yale University Press, New Haven, Connecticut, 1964. viii+287 p., 7 pis. $7.50. Mr. Ritterbush has written a scholarly work that covers a most fascinating period; the eighteenth century is the prelude to the period of modern biology. It was the golden age of taxonomy, having Linnaeus as its major spokesman. Mr. Ritterbush has carefully analyzed biological thinking in its relation to the history of ideas and has presented a fresh perspective. He documents the importance of newly discovered electricity and the dependence upon analogy in eighteenth century biological thinking. This is a challenging book for the diligent reader. It is packed with quotations from original sources and an extensive bibliography. The unusual illustrations from original sources help to recreate the eighteenth century in this serious study. The Evolution of Biology. M. J. Sirks and Conway Zirkle. Ronald Press, New York, 1964. v+376, p., Illus. $6.00. The second work, Sirks and Zirkle's The Evolution of Biology covers a broader period and is a much more general approach than that used by Ritterbush. It is not, the authors say, to be considered a detailed history of biology, but rather a survey of the developmental phases of that science.
