“Professor Fuller taught limnology, which was the best bio elective I ever took at 51·çÁ÷. Doing field labs with him was so inspiring because he brought such an immense level of joy to everything he did. I’m a 3rd grade teacher in a title1 school in Denver now, and whenever I talk to my students about real-life scientists, he is my usual go-to. I tell them about Professor Fuller because he exemplifies the essential love for learning that all teachers strive to instill in their students.â€
