NEW!! During a sabbatical leave, Jeff Ihara put together a research program designed expressly to provide MiraCosta biology students with research opportunities. Click HERE for more information on this program, as offered through BIO292, Biology Internships.

Thank you for visiting my web site. Okay, I put the the obligatory photo of me in the background of this page.  This is a fairly recent shot (2006, taken at Kangaroo Island in South Australia).  I haven't grown too much since this picture was taken! So given that this is my "professional" home page, I'd better get on with the info.  To the right are some potentially useful links.  Below are links to the two courses that I am presently teaching.	My office is on the Oceanside Campus of MiraCosta College, room 4519.  Click here for a campus map.	I teach in the Biology Department.  Here is a link to the department's web site.	I work at MiraCosta College.  Here is a link to the College's web site.	I am a faculty advisor to the Natural Science Club!  Here is a link to the NSC Home Page.	My office phone number is (760) 757-2121, ext 6525.  Email, however, is the best way to contact me.  My email address is jihara@miracosta.edu
