 | | Pat Gaines - I am a 4th and 5th grade teacher at Belle Sherman Elementary School who enjoys the hands-on, try it out feel of science and science
instruction. I’ve served on curriculum committees and participated in many in-service workshops to learn more about teaching science. I got my BS from
Cornell, and MS from Western Connecticut State.
|
| | Rich Hogen - I am a fourth grade teacher at Rudy G. Bologna Elementary School in Chandler, Arizona. In my position as the Division
Director for Preschool and Elementary Science for the National Science Teachers Association, I am the lead advocate for
science education in our preschool and elementary schools and also nationwide. I am also a National Board Certified Teacher with my certification as a
Middle Childhood Generalist.

| | Nancy Ridenour - I presently teach AP Biology at Ithaca High School, am science chair for the department of 17 teachers, and work with K-12 curriculum
development in the district. As NSTA District IV Director, I collaborate with the leadership in New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania to increase NSTA
membership. I also have a central role in New York State with the NSTA Building a Presence for Science. I have a B.S. and M.A.T. from Cornell University.
When not working or traveling, I construct cement and copper sculptures, work in the perennial garden, make glass beads or fused glass, and kayak.

| | Keith Sheppard - I am a professor at Teachers College in Columbia University, that’s located
in New York City, the big Apple. But I was born and raised in England where I went to college in Liverpool (where the Beatles got started). Sometime along
the way I went to teach in Africa and helped to run the school. Now I teach teachers and also look at ways that kid’s learn and how to make it more fun.

Staff
 | | Carl Batt - I am currently a professor at Cornell University , but helped
to start something that we call "Main Street Science". Folks in my research laboratory work on
nanotechnology--making little devices to study biology. I have a B.S. degree from Kansas State University and a Ph.D. from Rutgers (which is in New Jersey).
When I am not working I am at home on a farm with horses, dogs, cats and talking bird named Miguel.

| | Barb Dybwad - When I am not obsessively covering all things gadgetry at Engadget.com, I'm likely to be found thinking about social technogies, citizen-created media and ubiquitous computing.
I'm occasionally coaxed away from my laptop for more analog pursuits that include drumming, battling the weeds in the backyard, and surviving the winters in
upstate NY.

 | | Diego Rey - I am a graduate student at Cornell University and am working on my PhD in Biomedical Engineering. When I’m not in the lab working with cells and nanotubes, I like to go on hikes, go biking, and skateboarding in the summer and go snowshoeing and snowboarding in the winter. I am from Argentina and at Nanooze! I develop content for the site and work on translating it into Spanish. You can find out more about me from my lab webpage.
|
 | | Clarissa Lui - I am currently a graduate student in the Biomedical Engineering Department at Cornell University. I received my B.S. degree in Electrical Engineering in 2004 at UT-Austin. Currently, I'm working with microfluidics and bacteria, and I also help with the format & design of this website. Outside of work, I enjoy creative writing, web design, and puzzles.

Translators
 | | Yajaira Sierra - I came from Puerto Rico to pursue a Ph.D. in Chemistry at Cornell University. I love working at the lab and I enjoy learning about materials science and engineering, analytical chemistry and biophysics. My research combines and applies these disciplines in the area of nanobiotechnology. I use biological materials, such as proteins and DNA, to create the future biosensing and electronic devices. I like traveling, going to the beach (when I visit my country) and ice-skating here in Ithaca, New York. I have been working with Diego and other lab members in the translation of Nanooze! in Spanish.
|
 | | Emma Rocchi-Rey - My first field of study and work was education with special emphasis in mathematic and science. I also created and distributed educational material for parents and teachers. Some years later I worked in software development. I am Diego Rey's mom and through him I learn about Nanooze. Currently I am collaborating with others to translate this website into Spanish so that this educational and fascinating page can reach all the Spanish speaking children of world. I enjoy fine arts, graphic art, poetry, etymology, books as art, and also the culinary arts. I am from Bariloche, Argentina located in the Patagonian Andes.

 | | Hector Lopez - Hello! I'm an undergraduate student in the School of Arts & Sciences at Cornell University. I'm interested in anything that has to do with biomedicine and biotechnology. My passions include music from all over the world, watching as many movies as possible, and partying with my friends. I'm originally from Mexico although I've lived in a small town next to Albany, NY for the past eight years.

 | | Valeria Carcamo-Cavazos - I was born in Mexico City, where I lived for nine years. I then moved to Santiago in Chile, my father's country of birth. In 2000 my family left to Olympia in the State of Washington, where I attended my four years of High School. I am currently 20 years old, and a Junior at Cornell University majoring in Biology and Spanish. I am doing research with Surface Plasmon
Resonance technology at Batt Laboratory and planning to attend Medical School in the future.
|
 | | Nadia Siles - I was born in Cochabamba, Bolivia where I lived for 13 years before my family and I moved to the United States. I am currently a junior in the College of Engineering at Cornell University pursuing a Biological and
Environmental Engineering degree. With the help and guidance of Diego, I am doing undergraduate research in cell culture and micro fabrication technologies. When I am not busy doing problem sets or research, I like to draw, belly dance and choreographs dance routines.
