About Me

My photo
Mark O. Martin
Tacoma, Washington, United States
Short version: husband, father, educator, researcher, and eternally a microbial supremacist! Long work version: I am an associate professor of Biology at the University of Puget Sound in Tacoma, Washington. There, I teach Microbiology to seniors, and Introductory Cell and Molecular Biology to freshmen. I also have an undergraduate based research program that studies bacterial predators, as well as bacterial associations with animals of various kinds.
