Frederick C. Ross received his B.S. and M.S. from Wayne State
University. He is professor emeritus of biology at Delta College
and has 30 years' teaching experience, including junior and senior
high school, during which he has taught biology, cell biology and
biological chemistry, microbiology, environmental science, and
zoology. Professor Ross has been active in curriculum and course
development, including the development of courses in infection
control and microbiology, AIDS and infectious diseases, and a PBS
ScienceLine course for elementary and secondary education majors in
cooperation with Central Michigan University. Professor Ross was
