What is the tagline for BioBuild?
“learning from and living with nature”
What is the Central dogma of molecular biology?
The flow of genetic information from DNA to RNA to protein.
Interdisciplinary Research, Design Studies, Understanding People and Design Realization.
Regenerative Medicine partnered with the Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine in which year?
2011 to form the Virginia Tech-Wake Forest Center for Veterinary Regenerative Medicine (CVRM).
Dogma: a belief that cannot be doubted.
Who coined the phrase "Central dogma" and why did this scientist call it a dogma?
Francis Crick
"My mind was, that a dogma was an idea for which there was no reasonable evidence. You see?!" And Crick gave a roar of delight. "I just didn't know what dogma meant. And I could just as well have called it the 'Central Hypothesis,' or — you know. Which is what I meant to say. Dogma was just a catch phrase.”

How many Interdisciplinary Graduate Education Programs (IGEPs) does the Graduate School Support?
14
Each IGEP addresses a major fundamental problem or complex societal issue requiring an interdisciplinary team of scholars. More than 300 graduate students are affiliated with the university’s IGEPs
What is BioBuild?
Its research has involved subjects such as bats, stinkbugs, flowers, streams, pets, hurricanes, earthquakes, water resources, bridges, and houses.
Adults sleep approximately 8 hours a night and spend about an hour in rapid eye movement sleep (REM sleep)--the period of sleep during which we have vivid dreams. Newborn infants sleep about 16 hours
How much of it do they spend in REM sleep?
8 hours

Donaldson Brown (GLC) was originally built in 1935 and was used as faculty apartments and a public dining room. The newest section of the building, originally known as the Continuing Education Center, was constructed 1965-68 and served as the university’s hotel and conference center before its conversion for graduate use.
Donaldson Brown became the Graduate Life Center (GLC) and home to graduate students, professional students and the Graduate School offices in what year?
2006
The Graduate Life Center at Donaldson Brown is home to 115 graduate and professional students and the Graduate School offices. It provides a hub for graduate student life, offering students opportunities to meet and collaborate with faculty and peers across disciplines, develop skills for academic and professional success, and maintain a healthy work-life balance
The center’s primary mission is to promote graduate education and graduate community. The building is also used for events and services organized or held by or for the Graduate School, graduate students, and graduate alumni.
