Joe Takahashi

Joseph Takahashi received his BA in biology from Swarthmore College, his PhD in neuroscience from the University of Oregon, and he was a post-doctoral fellow with Martin Zatz at the National Institutes of Mental Health.  He then spent 26 years at Northwestern University where he was a faculty member in the Department of Neurobiology and…

Steven Reppert

Steven Reppert received both his B.S. and M.D. degrees from the University of Nebraska.  He did his clinical training in pediatrics at Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School and was a post-doctoral fellow at the NIH in the Section on Neuroendocrinology.  He then joined the faculty of Harvard Medical School where he resided for…

Michael Rosbash

Michael Rosbash is Professor of Biology at Brandeis University and Investigator of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute. Rosbash uses genetics to understand the underlying mechanisms of circadian rhythms. In 1984, Rosbash, along with collaborator Jeff Hall, cloned the period gene in Drosophila, which led them to discover the transcriptional negative feedback loop of circadian clocks…

Woody Hastings

J. Woodland “Woody” Hastings was the Paul C. Mangelsdorf Professor of Natural Sciences Emeritus in the Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology at Harvard University and a long time affiliate of the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole, Massachusetts. Hastings had life-long fascination with bioluminescence. Together with scientist Kenneth Nealson, Hastings discovered that bioluminescent bacteria…

Neurobiology of Monarch Butterfly Migration

In this talk about Monarch butterfly migration, Steven Reppert begins by describing the amazing long-distance migration of the Eastern North American Monarch butterfly. (Talk recorded in July 2014)
