Dr. Ernest Everett Just (1883-1941) was a pioneering biologist whose early work led to many of the precepts that we understand today in the fields of embryology, marine biology, and cytology. He was one of the first American biologists to understand the importance of the surface of the cell membrane to the proper development of organisms. Dr. Just authored two books and over 70 peer reviewed papers. He also was instrumental in the founding of Omega Psi Phi, Inc. at Howard University on November 17, 1911. Dr. Just earned his Ph.D. from the University of Chicago where he specialized in experimental embryology.
“We feel the beauty of nature because we are part of nature and because we know that however much in our separate domains we abstract from the unity of nature, this unity remains. Although we may deal with particulars, we return finally to the whole pattern woven out of these.” —Ernest Everett Just
