Information

Hi! Welcome to my page.


I'm Dr. Ruth MacNeille and I'm excited to join the Columbia Biology team! I fell in love with biology and teaching biology while working outdoors as an environmental educator. I love biology because we learn about the similarities and differences of all life. I enjoy the wonder of thinking about life that is smaller (cells) and larger (populations) than our eyes can see, and through time faster than we blink (nerve response) and also longer than we experience in a lifetime (evolution). Specifically, I love teaching biology and working to support community college students on their own science journeys! Once a Columbia biology student myself, I am returning after earning a Doctorate of Arts in Biology from Idaho State University. I am so grateful to rejoin this formative place and the people that make it great! 

Stop by in Sugar Pine 123 and say hi this semester!

Sincerely, 
Ruth
