The Dead Yeast Society
A talk by Fr. Nicanor Austriaco, O.P., Ph.D.
Assistant Professor of Biology, Providence College

Yeast cells are ideal stand-ins, Father Nicanor explains, because they behave remarkably like human cells. Plus, they reproduce, mature and age in a matter of days rather than years-a convenient consideration when working with undergraduates.
