Gerard J. Tortora is Professor of Biology and former Coordinator at
Bergen Community College in Paramus, NJ, where he teaches human
anatomy and physiology as well as microbiology. He received his
bachelor's degree in biology from Fairleigh Dickinson University
and his master's degree in science education from Montclair State
College. He is a member of many professional organizations, such as
the Human Anatomy and Physiology Society (HAPS), the American
Society of Microbiology (ASM), American Association for the
Advancement of Science (AAAS), National Education Association
(NEA), and the Metropolitan Association of College and University
Biologists (MACUB).
Bryan Derrickson is Professor of Biology at Valencia Community
College in Orlando, Florida, where he teaches human anatomy and
physiology as well as general biology and human sexuality. He
received his bachelor's degree in biology from Morehouse College
and his Ph.D. in Cell Biology from Duke University. Bryan's study
at Duke was in the Physiology Division within the Department of
Cell Biology, so while his degree is in Cell Biology his training
focused on physiology. At Valencia, he frequently serves on faculty
hiring committees. He has served as a member of the Faculty Senate,
which is the governing body of the college, and as a member of the
Faculty Academy Committee (now called the Teaching and Learning
Academy), which sets the standards for the acquisition of tenure by
faculty members. Nationally, he is a member of the Human Anatomy
and Physiology Society (HAPS) and the National Association of
Biology Teachers (NABT).
