Jeff Hardin is Professor and Chair of the Zoology Department
at the University of Wisconsin—Madison. He is also Faculty Director
of the Biology Core Curriculum, a four-semester honors biology
sequence for undergraduates at Wisconsin known for its teaching
innovations. Jeff’s research interests center on how cells migrate
and adhere to one another to change the shape of animal embryos.
Jeff’s teaching is enhanced by his extensive use of digital
microscopy and his Web-based teaching materials, which are used on
many campuses in the United States and other countries. As part of
his interest in teaching biology, Jeff has received several awards,
including a Lily Teaching Fellowship, a National Science Foundation
Young Investigator Award, and a Chancellor’s Distinguished Teaching
Award.
Gregory Bertoni has been active in teaching, research, and
scientific writing for over 30 years. He earned a Ph.D. in Cell and
Molecular Biology from the University of Wisconsin—Madison with
Wayne Becker, where his research investigated the effects of light
quality and carbon dioxide concentration on photorespiratory gene
expression. His teaching experiences include introductory and
graduate-level biochemistry, sophomore cell biology, and plant
physiology. At Madison, he and Wayne helped to develop a new course
entitled “Ways of Knowing” designed to introduce entering freshmen
to the learning process itself. His published research includes
studies in bacterial pathogenesis, plant-microbe interactions, and
plant gene expression. Currently, Gregory is a Science Editor for
The Plant Cell, a leading international research journal in plant
cell and molecular biology, for which he assists authors in
preparing manuscripts and files for publication. His duties include
communicating with authors around the world to ensure that
published papers are accurate and accessible to both general and
expert readers. In addition, he has written numerous one-page
summaries for the journal front matter to highlight key research
articles. For the past 12 years, Gregory has been teaching biology,
chemistry, and microbiology part-time at the community college
level, mostly for nursing training, and is currently at Southern
Maine Community College in South Portland, Maine. He is also a
freelance scientific writer who contributes to text- and web-based
projects in biology, physics, and microbiology. His hobbies include
hiking, gardening, and growing certified organic seedlings for A
Good Start, a small business founded by him and his wife Marianne
Potter in 2003.
