NAME	CONTACT	RESEARCH AREAS
Lane Baker Assistant Professor Chemistry	SI 102A 812-856-1873 lanbaker@indiana.edu	The electrochemical methods for analysis and imaging
Carl Bauer Professor Biology	SI 305A 812-855-6595 bauer indiana.edu	The regulation of gene expression by environmental factors such as light and oxygen; Differentiation of bacteria into different cell types
Jose Bonner Professor Biology	SI 205C 812-855-7074 bonner indiana.edu	Developing innovative methods for making science interesting and accessible to students. Most students hate science by middle school, few show interest in high school, and of those who enter college anticipating a science major, fully half leave the sciences within their first two years. Bonner's work is aimed at providing professional development for teachers to help turn this around.
