Gauger received a degree in biology from MIT and a PhD in developmental biology from the University of Washington. She was also a post-doctoral fellow at Harvard University. Her research has been published in Nature, Development and the Journal of Biological Chemistry.
Paul Nelson
Paul Nelson is a philosopher of biology specializing in evolutionary developmental biology. He earned his Ph.D. from the University of Chicago in 1998 and is presently an Adjunct Professor in the M.A. Program in Science & Religion at Biola University. He has published articles in several journals including Biology & Philosophy and Zygon. Paul has enjoyed a lifelong fascination with avian flight.
Timothy Standish
Timothy Standish is a researcher at the Geoscience Research Institute in Loma Linda, California where his work focuses on molecular biology. Standish earned his Ph.D. in environmental biology and public policy from George Mason University. He has taught ornithology in colleges and universities throughout the world.
Carsten Egevang
Carsten Egevang earned his Ph.D. from the University of Copenhagen and works as a researcher for the Greenland Institute of Natural Resources. His groundbreaking study of the migration and breeding biology of Arctic terns resulted in the first detailed mapping of the birds’ route from pole to pole. Egevang’s findings were published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
