2. USM also has a chapter of called Tri-Beta Beta Beta Beta The National Biological Honor Society. Check out the Tri-Beta website:
The chapter is planning a nearby day hike on Sunday, Sept. 29th.
If you’d like to get more info about Tri-Beta and/or go on a fun hike, please the faculty advisor, Dave Champlin:
Welcome!

4. Chapter 1

5. Modern Developmental Biology began in 1985 and
developmental biology is in a golden era of research
discovery.
The 1800’s were also a golden era of research discovery
in developmental biology (at that time it was called
embryology).

6. In the last 20 years, developmental biologists have cracked the mystery of both growth and patterning.
Surprisingly, they were black boxes before that.

7. Use human steroid hormone as a permissive example.
