JOSEPH ABRAHAM LONG (1879-1953) had a remarkably long association with the University of California: forty-five years. He joined the faculty in Zoology as an Instructor in 1908, immediately after the completion of his doctor's degree at Harvard University. Long's major teaching effort was in embryology; he organized and developed courses in general vertebrate and advanced mammalian morphogenesis.

His widely known atlases of chick and rat development, co-authored with his associate, Dr. Paul L. Burlingame, represent a major contribution to instruction in developmental anatomy. Examples of Long's research contributions are: the maturation of the egg of the mouse, the estrous cycle of the rat and related phenomena (with his long-time associate and friend, Professor Herbert M. Evans), and the development of the mammalian heart (with his student, Dr. Paul L. Burlingame).
