Recent News

Doug Facey, emeritus professor of biology, is first author on the recently released third edition of The Diversity of Fishes: Biology, Evolution and Ecology. This is a textbook for upper-level undergraduate and graduate students in ichthyology courses, such as the one that Doug taught a few times while at Saint Michael’s. The book includes several photos from Jon Hyde and Kimberly Sultze of the College’s Media Studies, Journalism and Digital Arts faculty. Also, Doug wrote a column for “The Outside Story” for Northern Woodlands Magazine, about “Hibernation: Winter survival by chilling out.”
