BIOLOGY UG?
Doane Hall of Advanced Biology: Allegheny's biology students learn by doing. With the guidance and support of the faculty, they apply scientific methods and theories learned in the classroom to their own research in the lab or in the field, discovering first-hand how scientists think and what they do.

BIOLOGY ALUMNUS:
Erik Zettler '82, research associate at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute 
(travelled in Paul Siple's footsteps on a three-month Antarctic expedition) 

Paul Siple:
  Of Wind and Windchill
  Paul A. Siple, a renowned polar explorer, geographer and leading authority on the Antarctic, is probably best remembered as the man who derived the "windchill" equation, which has become the universal standard for ascertaining the severity of a cold environment 
  Siple was a member of Admiral Byrd's first Antarctic expedition, and he made six other journeys to the Earth's remotest continent, living there for a total of more than six years. On his third expedition, he conducted his pioneering research on windchill, theories that he introduced in his 1939 doctoral dissertation at Clark, "Adaptation of the Explorer to the Climate of Antarctica." On one of his trips, carrying the flag of Clark's Graduate School of Geography with him, Siple explored and charted an Antarctic mountain range, naming it for Clark and the individual peaks for six of his professors.
