Interview by Laura Wise, APA Executive Board
Your Fellow AP in this newsletter is Phillip Lamoureux, a Research Assistant in the Department of Integrative Biology.
How long have you been at MSU and what brought you here?
29 years, I graduated from MSU and stayed.
Have you been a member of APA the whole time?
I have been in the APA the whole time, though I was once reclassified as a CT and fought to remain an APA and won.
Can you tell me a little bit about what you do?
I grow nerves and stretch them, doing neuroscience and biophysics in the Integrative Biology Department. My personal passion is The Student Biodome Project – Imagine a tropical garden of lush plants, splashing waterfalls, and curving paths with around the bend mystery, right next to Shaw Hall! It will be warm and aromatic all winter long under a sparkling Biodome, like a gem in the heart of campus. Designed for weddings, concerts, plays, so people could meet, relax, learn, connect with nature and grow healthier together.
