GDCB Professor M. Duane Enger will retire this month.  As noted by GDCB Professor and Chair, Jo Anne Powell-Coffman, "Dr. Enger was recruited to ISU in 1984 as the Chair of the Zoology Department.  He led the Zoology Department and then the Zoology and Genetics Department over the next two decades, during the emergence of modern molecular and cellular biology.  When the biology departments were reorganized, Dr. Enger intensified his focus on teaching, making important contributions to many courses and encouraging ISU undergraduates to learn and achieve".  GDCB thanks him for his leadership and wishes him great adventures and much happiness in retirement.
