Biology Faculty + Staff
Scientists AND Educators
The faculty and staff in the Biology Department make sure there is never a dull day at UW-Eau Claire. They can be spotted wading in rivers, scouring the streams, and seeking out the next scientific breakthrough. Their passion for biology makes them experts not only on our campus, but around the world. They do all of this in addition to teaching classes, holding office hours and participating in student-faculty research.
