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
