As the son of a chemistry professor and a mom who sent him to bird-watching camp to " get me out of the house, " Jeremy Nance naturally gravitated toward biology. But it wasn't until graduate school at the University of Arizona that Nance discovered his penchant for developmental biology and an admiration for the C. elegans nematode, which develops from one cell to 550 in the space of 12 hours....

We classify, up to homeomorphism, all closed manifolds having the homotopy type of a connected sum of two copies of real projective n-space. 1. Statement of results Let P = Pn(R) be real projective n-space. López de Medrano [LdM71] and C.T.C. Wall [Wal68, Wal99] classified, up to PL homeomorphism, all closed PL manifolds homotopy equivalent to P when n > 4. This was extended to the topological ...
