FEATURED
FACULTY
Not many biomedical science program students would expect to play a game from TV host Ellen DeGeneres during class. Come to think of it, there probably aren’t many professors who would encourage it, either. Thank goodness Stacy Donovan, PhD, isn’t your typical associate professor of biology.
