Edward Tall, Ph.D.
Senior Faculty Associate
Department of Biological Sciences
My favorite subjects to teach are Anatomy Physiology and Cell Biology, and so I like to incorporate each of these subjects into the other. The benefits from such approach allow students in cell biology to appreciate how molecular interactions can determine our anatomy and physiology, our health, and our interactions with the environment. Likewise students studying Anatomy Physiology can learn the molecular mechanisms behind it all. I advise many students, and really enjoy meeting one-to-one with them. Large classes, small classes-- variety makes it interesting.
