Description
Book SynopsisJEFFHARDIN received his Ph.D. in Biophysics from the University ofCaliforniaBerkeley. He is the Raymond E. Keller Professor and Chair of theDepartment of Integrative Biology at the University of WisconsinMadison, wherehe has been since 1991. For 18 years he was Faculty Director of the BiologyCore Curriculum, a four-semester honors biology sequence for undergraduates atWisconsin known for its teaching innovations. Jeff 's research focuses on howcells migrate and adhere to one another during early embryonic development.Jeff 's teaching is enhanced by his extensive use of digital microscopy and hisweb-based teaching materials, which are used on many campuses in the UnitedStates and in other countries. Jeff was a founding member of the UW TeachingAcademy, and has received several teaching awards, including a Lily TeachingFellowship, a National Science Foundation Young Investigator Award, and aChancellor's Distinguished Teaching Award.
JAMES P.LODOLCE earned his Ph.D. in Immunolog
