At Cornell, Dr. Taylor has served as assistant director of the Office ofInstructional Support and has taught introductory biology for both majors andnonmajors. Most recently, she was a lecturer in the Learning Strategies Center, teaching supplemental biology courses. Her experience working with students inclassrooms, in laboratories, and with tutorials has increased her commitment tohelping students create their own knowledge of and appreciation for biology. She was the author of the Student Study Guide for ten editions of Campbell Biology.

Eric J. Simon is a professor in the Department of Biology and Health Science at New England College in Henniker, New Hampshire. He teaches introductory biology to science majors and non rsity, and a Ph.D. in biochemistry fromHarvard University. His research focuses on innovative ways to use technology to improve teaching and learning in the science classroom. Dr. Simon also leads numerous international student field research trips and is a Scientific Advisor to the Elephant Conservation Center in Sayaboury, Laos. Dr. Simon is the lead author of the introductory non majors biology textbooks Campbell Essential Biology, Seventh Edition, and Campbell Essential Biology with Physiology, SixthEdition, and the author of the introductory biology textbook Biology: The Core, Third Edition.

Jean L. Dickey is Professor Emerita of Biological Sciences at Clemson University (Clemson, South Carolina). After receiving her B.S. in biology from Kent State University, she went on to earn a Ph.D. in ecology and evolution from Purdue University. In 1984, Dr. Dickey joined the faculty at Clemson, where she devoted her career to teaching biologyto nonscience majors in a variety of courses. In addition to creating content-based instructional materials, she developed many activities to engagelecture and laboratory students in discussion, critical thinking, and writing, and implemented an investigative laboratory curriculum in general biology.

Neil A. Campbell (1946--2004) combined the inquiring nature of a research scientist with the soul of a caring teacher. Over his 30 years of teaching introductory biology to both science majors and nonscience majors, many thousands of students had the opportunity to learn from him and be stimulated by his enthusiasm for the study of life. While he isgreatly missed by his many friends in the biology community, his coauthorsremain inspired by his visionary dedication to education and are committed tosearching for ever better ways to engage students in the wonders of biology.
