The rotations must in the laboratories listed in Table B below which span four levels of biology and physiology inclusive of a level termed \u201cbehavioral or integrative\u201d. Students must select from at least three distinct laboratories and ensure these selections cover at least three distinct columns. Moreover, note that several laboratories are listed in multiple columns. This occurs because these faculty members are engaged in research projects that span several biological levels. Students must show that a rotation in a lab for a particular column engaged the student in experiences associated with that column\u2019s theme. This rotation system ensures that QBP fellows experience biology over multiple scales, regardless of which laboratory they select for their dissertation topic. Please note that this table changes every year as new faculty members arrive.
