Hello all, as we head into the final weeks of the term, we just wanted to let you know that there will be academic advising available in the summer. We will update the Office Hours page (see link below) to Summer Advising Information in a few weeks so that you may identify who is available to meet. In the meanwhile, if you are unable to reach a specific faculty advisor of your choice between now and then, you are welcome to reach out to Mr. Avel Perez (avel.perez@csueastbay.edu), Dr. Erica Wildy (erica.wildy@csueastbay.edu), and/or Dr. Brian Perry (brian.perry@csueastbay.edu) for your biology and GE advising needs. For major checks, please meet with Mr. Avel Perez. Read More

Meet Our Newest Faculty Member, Dr. Tommy Jenkinson

Dr. Tommy Jenkinson is the Biological Sciences department's newest faculty member, having joined the faculty this past Fall. Dr. Jenkinson has hit the ground running, juggling his faculty responsibilities. This Spring you can find him teaching BIOL 140B, Organismal Biology and BIOL 650, Graduate Seminar in Ecology. He is also continuing to set up his research lab. Dr. Jenkinson's scholarly interests broadly include issues in molecular ecology, evolutionary genetics, and mycology. One of his current projects involves the use of molecular techniques to examine the evolution and biogeography of the chytrid fungus (Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis or Bd), a disease which has negatively impacted amphibian populations worldwide. You can find out more about Dr. Jenkinson and his research using the link below. And hey, if you haven't met Dr. Jenkinson yet and you see him in the science buildings or elsewhere on campus, be sure to introduce yourself. He enjoys meeting and working with students and you will likely find his enthusiasm contagious (pardon the pun!). Read More
