My field of study is developmental biology. In this area, I am interested primarily in genetic controls and tissue interactions during embryonic development. I examine these using experimental and histological techniques. Presently, I work with digital video in the production of films and CD-ROM's of developing systems. I collaborate with Ronald Kozlowski in producing multimedia educational materials in developmental biology. I am also engaged in research on the history of embryology and the impact of modern developmental techniques on society. In this area, my concern is writing articles for general audiences.

Ronald N. Kozlowski III

Ron has recently received his Master's degree in Zoology and is currently a research associate in the Biological Sciences Department at the University of Maine, Orono. He was project manager of a National Science Foundation-funded project called Environmental Engineering Process Dynamic Laboratory, directed by Dr. L.Katz, University of Texas, Austin. This resulted in the production of an educational website showcased by NSF at the ASEE conference in Seattle, 1998, as a model site for distant education. Ron has also instructed Apple Computer employees in how the 'engagement process' works between clients and developers in higher education.
