title: A short, informal history of the biological sciences at Yale University.
abstract: In May 2012, Yale University's Graduate School of Arts and Sciences held a reunion for all who have received doctorates from Yale in the biological sciences. The proceedings began with two presentations on the history of biological research at Yale: one focused on the Medical School, and the other centered on the rest of the University. This essay is a lightly edited version of my account of the history of the biological sciences outside the Medical School.
