About the Authors

Christina M. Henderson is a University College non-traditional student trying to balance a fulltime job with a major in Biological Sciences. She has a wide range of interests that include reading and writing, equestrian riding, and exploring the link between philosophy and science. Her feature story "Recipe for Life" reflects her own continuing attempts to integrate several methods of inquiry into a search for answers.

Matthew Herron ("Strange Attractions: A Physics Love Story") is a Rutgers College sophomore interested in both physics and theater arts. He finds time to explore quarks and bosons in between appearing on television and starring in university performances such as Ionesco's Rhinoceros.

Michael Joyce, writer of "Tying Together Records from the Ocean: An Interview with Kenneth Miller," is a transfer student who started out as a physics major at the University of Rochester, but luckily decided to return home to New Jersey. He's now a Rutgers College junior with a major in Geological Sciences and an interest in just about everything.

Theresa V. Pesce is a University College student majoring in Exercise Science and Sports Studies. Her firsthand knowledge of physical therapy and its implications for clients and their families aided her writing of "Hippotherapy." (That's Theresa holding Trisha's leg in the accompanying photo.) Like all the other contributors, Theresa has interests that go well beyond her field of study. She is considering a career as a science writer.

Barbara Hamilton (Editor) has taught at Rutgers University, Rider University, Central Texas College, and Ocean County College. She is currently Writing Program Coordinator for Busch Campus at Rutgers University and instructor for Business and Technical Writing's Science Writing course. A longtime science afficionado, she is nonetheless finishing a dissertation on the female medieval mystics and refuses to acknowledge any incongruity in her two academic passions.
