Bill Grimes, Professor of Biochemistry
http://biology.arizona.edu/wjg/
Bill came to the University of Arizona in 1971. In 1985 he became Head
of the Undergraduate Program in Biochemistry, and was asked to create a
new Introductory Course in Biology. Working first with Dr. Marty Hewlett
and joined the second year by Dr. Rick Hallick, he has continued the development
of Biology 181 as an introductory course for majors and non-majors. He
enjoys the intellectual stimulation of his cancer research, but regards
teaching and advising as his most important activities.
Bill Retired from the University of Arizona in 2008 |

Rick Hallick, Professor of Biochemistry
Rick has been teaching undergraduate biology and biochemistry since 1973.
He has a strong interest in using technology to enhance undergraduate education.
Rick is co-founder and faculty supervisor of the Biology Learning Center,
and also is active in designing MacMolecule2,
molecular graphics software for undergraduate education. He is the author
of 22 Activities/Problem Sets at The Biology Project, including the material
on Mendelian genetics, human genetics, photosynthesis, ABO blood type,
Red/Green Colorblindness, molecular genetics and DNA forensics. Rick is
currently leading an initiative to create a web-based environment for use
by collaborators in translating The Biology Project into other languages.
Rick retired from the University of Arizona in 2007 |

Ken Williams, Principal
Systems Analyst / Technologist
Ken wrote his first computer program in 1964, and joined The Department
of Molecular and Cellular Biology at The University of Arizona in 1984
to support computational biology. In 1995 Ken teamed up with Rick Hallick
and Bill Grimes to help develop and deploy the online educational activities
that have become The Biology Project. His contributions include systems
design and administration, database and middleware programming and maintaining
the technological underpinnings of our web services.
Ken retired from the University of Arizona in 2006 |
