Brian Zebosi, Department of Genetics, Development and Cell Biology (GDCB) graduate student in the lab of GDCB Professor Erik Vollbrecht, received the George Knaphus College Teaching Fellowship in spring 2023. As a Knaphus Fellow, Zebosi taught one section of Biology 101 during spring 2023. 

The Knaphus Fellowship is a mentored teaching experience intended for graduate students in the departments of ecology, evolution and organismal biology (EEOB) and GDCB. To be eligible, students must plan to include college-level teaching as a significant part of their future career.  

The departments of GDCB and EEOB, with financial support from the Knaphus family, jointly offer this college teaching fellowship “commemorating one of our finest-ever biology teachers, Dr. George Knaphus.”

Zebosi follows Travis Hattery, who served as a Knaphus Fellow in 2022 and graduated from ISU in summer 2022. Hattery is an assistant professor in biology at Grinnell College in biology.
