Peter J. Russell earned a B.Sc. in Biology from the University of Sussex, England, in 1968 and a Ph.D. in Genetics from Cornell University in 1972. Since 1972, he has been a member of the Biology faculty at Reed College and currently holds the position of Professor of Biology, Emeritus. Peter taught introductory biology, genetics, and a molecular virology research literature course. In 1987, he was honored with the Burlington Northern Faculty Achievement Award from Reed College for his outstanding teaching. He is the author of “GENETICS: A MOLECULAR APPROACH,” a successful genetics textbook. Peter’s research focused on molecular genetics, particularly in characterizing the role of host genes in the replication of the RNA genome of a pathogenic plant virus and the expression of the virus genes using yeast as the model host. His research has been supported by organizations including the National Institutes of Health, the National Science Foundation, the American Cancer Society, the Department of Defense, the Medical Research Foundation of Oregon, and the Murdoch Foundation. His research findings have been published in various journals, such as “GENETICS,” “JOURNAL OF BACTERIOLOGY,” “MOLECULAR AND GENERAL GENETICS,” “NUCLEIC ACIDS RESEARCH,” “PLASMID,” and “MOLECULAR AND CELLULAR BIOLOGY.” Peter has a long history of promoting faculty research involving undergraduates, including his role as cofounder of the biology department in the Council on Undergraduate Research in 1985. He served as Principal Investigator/Program Director of a National Science Foundation Award for the Integration of Research and Education (NSF–AIRE) at Reed College from 1998 to 2002.

Paul E. Hertz was born and raised in New York City. He received a B.S. in Biology from Stanford University in 1972, an A.M. in Biology from Harvard University in 1973, and a Ph.D. in Biology from Harvard University in 1977. While conducting field research for his doctorate, he was a member of the Biology faculty at the University of Puerto Rico at Rio Piedras. After completing a postdoctoral fellowship at Dalhousie University, Paul joined the teaching staff at Barnard College in 1979. He was appointed Ann Whitney Olin Professor of Biology in 2000, received The Barnard Award for Excellence in Teaching in 2007, and became Claire Tow Professor of Biology in 2016. In addition to various university committees, Paul chaired Barnard’s Biology Department for eight years and served as Acting Provost and Dean of the Faculty from 2011 to 2012. He was the founding Program Director of the Hughes Science Pipeline Project at Barnard, an undergraduate curriculum and research program funded continuously by the Howard Hughes Medical Institute from 1992 to 2016. The Pipeline Project included the Intercollegiate Partnership, a program for local community college students to facilitate their transfer to four-year colleges and universities. Paul teaches a semester of the introductory series for biology majors and pre-professional students, lecture and laboratory courses in vertebrate zoology and ecology, and seminars introducing first-year students to scientific research. Paul specializes in animal physiological ecology, with a research interest in the thermal biology of lizards. Since the mid-1970s, he has conducted fieldwork in the West Indies, focusing on the lizards of Cuba and Puerto Rico. His research has been funded by the NSF and published in journals such as “THE AMERICAN NATURALIST,” “ECOLOGY,” “NATURE,” “OECOLOGIA,” and “PROCEEDINGS OF THE ROYAL SOCIETY.”
