Faculty Profile
Dr. John Rowe
Departments: Biology
Biologist John Rowe’s laboratory resembles a turtle zoo.
Children’s wading pools converted into baby turtle habitats are arranged in rows in his darkened lab. Large curtains surround each pool, with lights, some brighter than others, directly overhead. Students maintain the lab, take measurements and analyze data pertaining to the scientific question: Does the intensity of light affect turtles and their shell coloring and growth rates?
