His research and teaching: Jere Lipps works on both modern and fossil marine organisms, protists in particular. He teaches courses in paleontology, oceanography, and science communication, and co-teaches a field course on the biology and geology of tropical islands.

On science: "So many things we do daily could be re-expressed as science, for science is a method of exploring our surroundings and a model for intelligent living, not technological gadgets, mudane facts, or highfalutin ideas. Everyone already does science, they just don't recognize it. The scientific process is a delight. It's fun and it's glorious!"
