Professor of Biology Jinnie Garrett published an article in the October 2004 issue of BioScience (Vol 10, 942-949, 2004) titled,  "A Three-Tiered Approach to Enhance Undergraduate Education in Bioethics." This work is the result of a collaboration with Lori Zaikowski, chair of chemistry at Dowling College. The article discusses various mechanisms for including bioethics throughout the science curriculum and include two recent developments in the curriculum at Hamilton College; the intensive introductory course Bio115  (Biology: Fundamentals and Frontiers) and the sophomore seminar Soph220  (Forever Wild: The Cultural and Natural Histories of the Adirondack Park).

Parts of this work have been presented at various meetings including the 54th Annual Meeting of the American Institute of Biosciences, Arlington, VA.; the XIX Congress of Genetics, Melbourne Australia; and the International Congress of the International Society for the History, Philosophy and Social Studies of Biology, Vienna, Austria.

Garrett also published an article in 2003 describing part of her research on the control of amino acid uptake in yeast, " Yeast Agp2 and Agp3 function as amino acid permeases in poor nutrient conditions" James L. Schreve and Jinnie M. Garrett, Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, vol. 313, 755-761, 2003. This work was funded by an Academic Enhancement Research Award from the National Institutes of Health.

Both of these articles were written during Garrett's sabbatical last fall as the Visiting Hamilton Fellow at Pembroke College, University of Oxford, UK.,
