Hello Dr. Dahlquist, If you were not a biology professor nor doing research, what career would you see yourself in?

Recently, I've gotten interested in public policy and investigative journalism. I would like to use my scientific training in data analysis to tackle broader societal questions. I think investigative journalism is important to holding our elected officials accountable for their actions. — Kam D. Dahlquist 20:13, 21 January 2015 (EST)

Hi Dr. Dahlquist,
What is your favorite book and why?
Kara M Dismuke 17:03, 18 January 2015 (EST)

It's hard to choose just one! I'm a big Harry Potter fan, the 5th, 6th, and 7th books are my favorites. Beggars in Spain by Nancy Kress (and the two follow-ups in the trilogy, Beggars and Choosers and Beggar's Ride) is up there--it's about genetically modified people that don't need to sleep and I use it in my seminar class BIOL 585: Issues in Biotechnology. — Kam D.

Hi Dr. Dahlquist, If you had a time machine but had to use it for science, which past research or experiment would you most want to be part of?

If I can answer your question this way, I'd love to go back to the beginning of life on earth and see if it really happened the way we currently think--the RNA world. I'd love to take some sampled and bring it back to the present to analyze. — Kam D. Dahlquist 20:55, 29 January 2015 (EST)

Hi Dr. Dahlquist,
If you could take one class at LMU, what would it be?

Hello Dr. Dahlquist,
My question for you is as follows: What has been your biggest challenge as a researcher and how did you overcome it?

Hi Dr. Dahlquist, Who would you say is (or was) your biggest role model and why?
Lucia I. Ramirez 01:34, 20 January 2015 (EST)

Hi, Dr. Dahlquist. What would you say was a critical pivotal point in getting where you are today?

Dr. Dahlquist, how extensive is your knowledge in epigentics, such as DNA methylation? I'm curious about the subject and have some questions on it.
