| Dr. Mike Howell has been a professor at Samford University for 35
years. He has authored over 50 scientific papers. His
contributions to science include discovery of the first environmental
androgens as pollutants, development of silver staining methods for
study of human chromosomes, and development of a viewing tank for
studying and photographing fish without harming them. This teaching-photographic
tank has allowed the faculty at Samford to capture images of vertebrates,
invertebrates, and plants during class field trips. Specimens
are collected, photographed, and then returned unharmed to the wild.
The images are then made available for students to identify
and study from the departmental web site. Dr. and Mrs. Howell
have two children and three grandchildren. |
