Kenneth R. Miller is Professor of Biology and Royce Family Professor for Teaching Excellence at Brown University. A cell biologist, he serves as an advisor on life sciences to the NewsHour, a daily PBS television program on news and public affairs, and is a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS). Miller is coauthor, with Joseph S. Levine, of five different high school and college biology textbooks used by millions of students nationwide. In 2005 he served as lead witness in the trial on evolution and intelligent design in Dover, Pennsylvania. His popular book, Finding Darwin's God: A Scientist's Search for Common Ground between God and Evolution, addresses the scientific status of evolutionary theory and its relationship to religious views of nature. His latest book, Only a Theory: Evolution and the Battle for America's Soul addresses the continuing struggle over how evolution is to be understood in American society. His honors include the Presidential Citation of the American Institute of Biological Science (2005), the Public Service Award of the American Society for Cell Biology (shared with Dr. Barbara Forrest in 2006), and the Distinguished Service Award of the National Association of Biology teachers (2008). In 2009, Miller was honored with the AAAS Public Understanding of Science and Technology Award (2009), and with the Gregor Mendel Medal (2009), presented by Villanova University.
Since 1996, Ann Okerson has served as Associate University Librarian at Yale University, following 15 years of academic library and library management experience, several years in the commercial sector, and service as a senior program officer, founding the Scholarly Communications Program at the Association of Research Libraries in Washington, DC. At Yale, in 1996, she organized the Northeast Research libraries consortium (NERL), a group of 27 large research libraries (and about 55 smaller regional libraries) that negotiates licenses for large collections of electronic information packages and databases and engages in other forms of cooperative activity. Okerson also serves as one of the active, founding spirits of the International Coalition of Library Consortia (ICOLC), a group active in discussions with publishers as well as cross-consortial, global cooperation. She has served as an advisor to the Soros eIFL project, now doing occasional eIFL training of librarians in developing countries, in areas related to library collaborations and publisher negotiations. Okerson's professional activities include numerous projects, publications, advisory boards (including for profit and not-for-profit publishers), and speaking engagements around the world, as well as professional awards. In 1997, with funding from the Council on Library and Information Resources, she and the Yale Library staff mounted an online educational resource about library licensing of electronic content in a project called LIBLICENSE. Its extensive annotations and links are complemented by "Liblicense-l," an international, moderated online discussion list frequented by over 3,500 librarians, publishers and attorneys. In 1998, she secured an additional grant to create for-free Liblicense software, which enables users to generate customized e-resources licenses using standard language options. In April 2001, the Digital Library Federation endorsed the project's work on a Model Electronic License for academic research libraries. The work has undergone several revisions since its start. Her other recent activities include being a Principal Investigator on several cutting-edge grants, most recently a U.S. Department of Education Title VI grant for building components of a Middle East Virtual Library and a foundation grant for improving liberal arts teaching through use of library special collections.
