Bringing the World's Best Biology to You
Dr. Consuelo Alvarez is a Professor of Biochemistry and Genetics at Longwood University, a small school in FarmVille, Virginia.

Drs. Alvarez, Eckdahl and Fowlks tell us why they each chose a career in science education and how they got there. (Talk recorded in June 2012)
iBiology and iBiology Courses are part of the Science Communication Lab (SCL). Our mission remains the same, to connect people to science. However, our focus has shifted to producing and evaluating cinematic films for education and the public, which you can find on the Science Communication Lab website.
