Assistant Professor of Biology Whitney Bullock, Ph.D.<\/a>, had heard of Eckerd College\u2019s South Beach<\/a> but had never visited until her Genetics and Molecular Biology students took her across campus for a water-sampling experiment.<\/h3>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”32″ text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”padding-2-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”right” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]\u201cThey teach me the fun things they know,\u201d she says in between laughs. \u201cI\u2019ve learned a lot about Eckerd from them in this experiment.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bullock joined the College in August after spending the pandemic working at the Indiana Biosciences Research Institute<\/a> and Indiana University School of Medicine<\/a>, where she collaborated with chemists, biologists, doctors and other researchers to develop medicines that can simulate the positive effects of exercise for paraplegics and others unable to engage in physical activity themselves. She loved the challenging work and environment, but she missed the classroom.<\/p>\n

\u201cI love teaching. Getting to help students practice their skills and figure out why they love science and to have that student interaction was not something I was able to find in a strictly research setting,\u201d Bullock recalls.<\/p>\n

She was interested in leaving Indiana University, where she\u2019d received her Ph.D. in 2019, for sunnier climes and had spent many years vacationing in the Tampa Bay area, which put Eckerd College on her radar for possible next moves.<\/p>\n

\u201cI also love the beach. I knew I wanted to be somewhere in driving distance from the coast,\u201d Bullock says. \u201cWhen I pulled out a map and started to look, Eckerd really stood out. It was a small liberal arts college. I wanted to work closely with students in a place that was great to live in. So I waited for a job ad to appear.\u201d[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”32″ text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”padding-2-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” el_class=”lg_text” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]When it did, Bullock applied and did her interviews virtually, immediately taken by the friendliness of the community\u2014even via Zoom. \u201cA professor actually carried me down the hall on a laptop, and other faculty were waving hello and speaking to me as we passed by,\u201d she remembers.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”32″ text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”padding-2-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”right” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]Bullock says she\u2019s always been fascinated by biology<\/a> because it presents a puzzle to solve about how life works. Her middle school dream was to be a veterinarian; however, an introduction to laboratory research sent her on the path to professorship. Her research interests focus on bone and muscle and how activity affects bone health and influences conditions such as osteoporosis. She\u2019s working on developing a course on endocrinology geared toward biology students.<\/span><\/p>\n

Until then, she may have her hands full teaching \u201cCells and Genes\u201d and \u201cGenetics and Molecular Biology\u201d courses, serving as a co-sponsor for the Science Outreach Club, getting to know more about Eckerd and its students, and continuing her research. Her lab, where she continues her work studying the effects of manual stimulation on bone health, is staffed with Eckerd students eager to learn who are encouraged to design their own independent research projects.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”32″ text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”padding-2-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”right” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][image_with_animation image_url=”7626″ animation=”Fade In” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”32″ text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”padding-2-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”right” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]\u201cI really enjoy her class because it is more catered to my study style of doing further reading for understanding outside of class,\u201d said Aarushi Gandhi, a sophomore biology student from Bangalore, India, and president of the Science Outreach Club. \u201cIt\u2019s also great that she worked at [Indiana University\u2019s] medical school and that she has those connections to bring to pre-health students. She is aware of the kinds of things we\u2019ll need to know and have on our resumes if we want to go to medical school.\u201d<\/p>\n

Aarushi also was one of four students who adapted one of Bullock\u2019s presentations to share with Pinellas County elementary schoolchildren at October\u2019s St. Petersburg Science Festival<\/a>. The video What Odd Teeth You Have!<\/em><\/a> synthesized college-level information about the size, shape and purposes of animal teeth to show evolutionary relationships.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s one of the presentations I\u2019ve done before, so I asked if any students wanted to adapt it,\u201d Bullock says. \u201cScience communication is critically important because being able to speak with the general public about science has become more important than ever.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Science Festival was one of many chances Bullock works into her curriculum for students to polish their science communication skills. They are required to write a persuasive paper on an ethical topic in genetics and are asked to give 30-second presentations explaining a genetics topic in the news. All the experience adds up to making them more comfortable explaining the processes and outcomes. It also foments questions, the basis of all scientific research.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we were sampling water out at Saunders Point, there was a bike sunken just off the seawall that looked to have been there awhile,\u201d Bullock says. \u201cI wonder what that will mean for the bacteria in that water sample.\u201d[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
