About 10 summers ago, Ron Vale set up a “green screen” in a cramped conference room in Lillie Laboratory and began shooting videos of scientists describing their work. No one realized the video venture he was building, iBiology, would grow to become the tremendous educational resource it is today. iBiology now contains hundreds of freely available video lectures and course materials in topics ranging from genetics to ecology.
