At Oregon State University I am a Senior Instructor in the Department of Biochemistry and Biophysics. I am a contributing editor to BioTechniques and write the monthly WebWatch column for that publication. I write a twice monthly column in Genetic Engineering News entitled Best of the Web (previously called On the Web/ Web Spinning). From 1998 to 2003 I was a contributing editor to Science Magazine and served for 12 years as editor of BIOTECHNOLOGY SOFTWARE & INTERNET JOURNAL. I was an author on the Biochemistry textbook (Mathews, van Holde, and Ahern), published by Addison-Wesley Longman in 2000. My contribution was the online and CD-ROM content, shown here. I provided the material for the General Resources pages of Science Magazine's Online Functional Genomics Web Page (HERE). I am also the proud creator of the Metabolic Melodies. There are three CDs that can be purchased HERE, HERE, and HERE. and calendar of them for 2009 has been published HERE. My publications list is HERE

I grew up in Fowler, IL, wrote a book about it (HERE), attended Unity High School in Mendon, IL and graduated from C.E. Donart High School (now called Stillwater High School) in Stillwater, OK. I received my B.S. and M.S. from Oklahoma State University, and my Ph.D. from Oregon State University.
