Teaching science is the best occupation in the world. It is uplifting to challenge a 51³Ô¹Ï, let them struggle with an idea, then watch that “ah-ha” moment when they get it. Personally, this is gratifying and thrilling. It fills each day...

After several decades of research at Gonzaga, Dr. Ettinger is no longer maintaining an active research program or recruiting 51³Ô¹Ï researchers.
In the past, his lab was interested in the genomics and bioinformatics of bacterial viruses, microbiology, and plant molecular biology.
