The word BIOLOGY means, "the science of life", from the Greek bios, life, and logos, word or knowledge. Therefore in this class we will learn how to use scientific thinking and methodologies applied to learn about and understand living organisms. These living organisms include us, bacteria, fungus and plants among many others. Throughout this course we will learn about the theories that explain how species change over time and how Life began on this planet. Furthermore, we will learn and evaluate processes that are shared by most  and in some cases all living organisms. Also, we will learn about our own human physiology and the processes that keep us alive. Biology is the science of Living Things.

Antonio Gamboa, Biology 1

Biology has been one of the many science classes I have taught over my 23 years career as an educator. Also, I spent more than a decade as a research associate. I enjoy learning about Biology and Science in general. Technology applied to the Life Sciences  is one of my favorite topics. I find fascinating ideas about new therapies, the development of personalized medicine and how genomics, proteomics and single cell analysis are transforming the field of Biology. For the past ten years, I have spent my summers collaborating with engineers, mathematicians and experts in various fields of Life and Physical Sciences at various universities. I am currently collaborating on a project geared to create a machine learning real time prediction ground level Ozone app. I enjoy swimming on my free time.
