A faculty member at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada, since 1963, and full professor since 1973, Randall was appointed Associate Dean of Graduate Studies in 1990. Elected a fellow of the Royal Society of Canada in 1981, Randall has been both a Guggenheim and a Killam fel- low, and was awarded the prestigious Fry Medal for re- search contributions to zoology by the Canadian Soci- ety of Zoology in 1993.

WARREN BURGGREN Warren Burggren has taught in physiology for 23 years, and has been a professor of biological sciences at the Uni- versity of Nevada at Las Vegas since 1992. Courses he has taught at UNLV and at the University of Massachu- setts, where he was Professor of Zoology from 1987 through 1991, include Human Anatomy and Physiology, Bioenergetics, Introductory Zoology, and Comparative Physiology. Burggren's research interest include develop- mental physiology, comparative animal physiology, and environmental and ecological physiology. In particular, his research focuses on the ontogeny of respiratory and cardiovascular systems, and how the systems that regu- . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . KATHLEEN FRENCH A neurobiologist at the University of California at San Diego since 1985, Kathleen French has for 10 years taught upper division courses in embryology, mammalian physiology for premedical students, and cellular neurobi- ology. In addition, at UCSD, French participates in a training program to instruct science teaching assistants in the techniques and philosophy of teaching. She also serves on the faculty of the Neuroscience and Behavior Course at the Marine Biological Laboratories in Woods Hole, Massachusetts, an intensive course designed primarily for graduate students and post-doctoral fellows. French . brings her expertise in-and love of-teaching to her contributions to the field of fish physiology. A frequent symposium lecturer on fish physiology and other sub- jects, most recently in Brazil, France, Germany, Italy, the People's Republic of China, Russia, and the United States. He has worked with both the World Health Or- ganization and the United States Environmental Protec- tion Agency in developing ammonia criteria. Widely published as author and co-author in leading journals, Randall is co-editor of the noted series Fish Physiolog?, (Academic Press), of which 15 volumes are in print. Vol- ume 16, subtitled "Deep-sea Fish," will appear in 1997. Along with his other duties, Randall co-teaches third year courses in vertebrate physiology and environmental physiology. His research interests concern the interac- tions between gas and ion exchange across fish gills. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . late them change over the course of development. Burggren has been actively involved in symposia, semi- nars, and formal extramural researchltraining activities in many countries. A co-author of The Evolution of Air Breathing in Vertebrates (Cambridge University Press, 1981), Burggren has been a frequent contributor since 1980 to edited collections of physiology, including Presser's Comparative Animal Physiology, Fourth Edi- tion (Wiley-Liss, 1991). Burggren co-edited Environ- mental Physiology of the Amphibia (University of Chicago Press, 1992), and more recently co-edited De- velopment of Cardiovascular Systems; Molecules to Or- ganisms (Cambridge University Press, 1997). . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . role as co-author of the current edition of Animal Physi- ology, along with a lifelong interest in the nervous systems of organisms from a broad range of phyla. As an Associ- ate Project Scienrist at UCSD, French's research focuses on the control of neuronal development, a topic that she has studied in various invertebrate species. Her current re- search concerns the cellular events that control differenti- ation of identified neurons in the medicinal leech, with an emphasis on the cellular physiology of embryonic neu- rons and the effects of cell-cell contacts. She has been the author and co-author of numerous published research and review articles in journals including the Journal of Neuroscience and Journal of Neurophysiology.
