Professor Emeritus, Dept. of Cellular and Integrative Physiology Indiana University School of Medicine 635 Barnhill Dr. Indianapolis IN 46202 E-mail: crothe{at}iupui.edu Abstract The following is the abstract of the article discussed in the subsequent letters: The National Research Council-sponsored report, BIO 2010: Transforming Undergraduate Education for Future Research Biologists , describes a number of significant changes that should be made to the undergraduate biology curriculum if we are to adequately train students to become the researchers of the 21st century. What should be of concern to the physiology community is the lack of identifiable physiology in the proposed revisions. This article describes the report and suggests some steps that physiologists can take to enhance our discipline in the undergraduate biology curriculum.
