John J. Battles

Professor
Environmental Science, Policy & Management

I have never had a non-academic job in my adult career. I am a dedicated field scientist engaged in long-term, multidisciplinary research. Most of my research occurs in the Sierra Nevada, CA and White Mountains, NH. My first and only professor track job is at Berkeley. So I do know the ropes of the UC system.

Benjamin Blackman

Associate Professor
Plant and Microbial Biology

My primary interest is understanding how organisms respond developmentally to environmental signals, and how and why these responses evolve as populations have adapted or will adapt to changing environmental conditions. I run a small to medium sized lab primarily funded by NSF grants, and to gain integrative understanding of our chosen foci, our work embraces a wide range of techniques from detailed studies of molecular mechanisms to genomic studies of archaeological samples to large field experiments. I started at UCB in January 2016 after 3.5 years as junior faculty at UVA, and I...

Carl Boettiger

Associate Professor
Environmental Science, Policy & Management

My background was originally in physics; my PhD focused on theoretical ecology. My interest in issues of stochasticity and uncertainty has lead me to focus on problems around decision-making under great uncertainty, with connections to economists, computer scientists, and social scientists, in a interdisciplinary field we now think of as data science. I am passionate about teaching and have long been involved in the open science movement, including as founder of two widely recognized projects, https://ropensci.org and...

Dean of Biological Sciences, Professor
Molecular & Cell Biology

I received a PhD in Biophysics here at Berkeley studying in the Chemistry department. I discovered the rapidly renaturing "satellite " DNA in drosophila (Dm) and showed that they are located in the heterochromatin. I left posit doc at Cold Spring Harbor Labs and became a virologists studying SV-40 and Adenoviruses. My work there showed that these Viruses integrate without specificity in cells they transformed where replication was non-permissive or very weak. I cloned the first tumor viral chromosomal DNA as showed that the sequences at the junctions were the results of end joining....
