Ben Pierce, Biology

Dr. Ben Pierce was a member of the Task Force that helped start the BIC in the early 90s. Dr. Pierce was a faculty member in the Biology department at that time. Later, he was Associate Dean for Sciences at Baylor from 1996-2002, during which he coordinated planning and programming for Baylor University's new $105 million multidisciplinary sciences building. Today, he is a Biology Professor and holder of the Lillian Nelson Pratt Chair at Southwestern University and conducts research in the areas of genetics, evolution, and the biology of amphibians.

The BIC is thankful for Dr. Pierce's contribution to the program.
