News & Events

Life Sciences Week is a celebration of IU’s exciting work and discoveries in the life sciences. During this week, IU will launch a life sciences Web site that will feature stories about important new life sciences research—and how it affects you personally, as well as information specifically for prospective students, patients, business leaders, and researchers.

The IUB Libraries will participate in Life Sciences Week by sponsoring an exhibition at the Lilly Library:

Exhibition: H.J. Muller, Geneticist
Location: The Lilly Library, Lincoln Room
Dates: January 21—January 31, 2005

A geneticist and IU research professor, Muller did important work on fruit flies proving that exposure to radiation caused mutation in living organisms. The exhibition will include research and data from his work, correspondence with other scientists, photographs, and an image of the intricate "wall scheme" for designing special genetic stocks.
