- Barbara McClintock
Barbara McClintock was a pioneering American scientist and one of the world's most distinguished cytogeneticists. McClintock received her PhD in botany from Cornell University in 1927, where she was a leader in the development of maize cytogenetics. The field remained the focus of her research for the rest of her career. From the late 1920s, McClintock studied chromosomes and how they change during reproduction in maize.

- Widukind Lenz
Widukind Lenz (1919-1995) was a distinguished German pediatrician, medical geneticist and dysmorphologist who was among the first to recognize the thalidomide syndrome in 1961 and alert the world to the dangers of limb and other malformations due to the mother's exposure to this drug during pregnancy. In the ensuing years, Lenz did much important work on the thalidomide syndrome. He also did work of value in clinical genetics and cytogenetics.
- Marcus Morton Rhoades
Marcus Morton Rhoades (July 24, 1903 in Graham, Missouri - December 30, 1991) was an American cytogeneticist.

- Keri Dixon
Finally graduated from college exactly 10 years after graduating high school - just in time for my 10 year reunion. Now I spend my days in a genetics lab analyzing chromosomes. It fits my personality type. I am extremely detail-oriented, not to mention OCD. You gotta have some degree of both of those to work in the field I do. The only dilemma is that it's not a very active job and I get bored of sitting at a microscope for too long.

Born in Michigan, lived in Arizona most of my life, moved to Portland, Oregon for work about 7 years ago and have been here ever since. I have to update this now to say I have bought my third home, and now work on that one every spare minute I have... yep, still doing the same thing, just a different bigger place that needs tons more work. Someday I hope to be done and have a life!

I have two beautiful grown children. I love exploring nature, snow skiing, biking, hiking and photography. I enjoy reading, gardening, cooking, and listening to music. I think it is fun to learn new things. I have a degree in studio art, and a career in genetics (it's a long story). I strive to be generous. Friends and family are the most important thing.

I am 28 years old. I hate to talk about myself but will answer any question that someone has for me, so feel free to ask. Some interesting sayings: Some people are like slinkies. They dont really serve a purpose but it still makes you smile to push them down the stairs. :) Fun is what they fine you for. Smile....tomorrow will be worse. The good thing about storms is that they always pass. Dignity does not consist in a silk dress.

I grew up in Kansas City until I was 18 and have lived in LA ever since. I love the weather and the diversity. You can find anything you like in LA. I like to go to the clubs/bars in Hollywood and hang out with friends. I am half Peruvian and Italian and just like to have a good time partying. I will never say no to a Vegas trip. Always too honest and loyal. I'll forgive but never forget.

I grew up in a small town where everyone knew your business and, if they didn't, they made up some for you. I'm now in Little Rock and love it. I could never go back to small town life and would love to live in a bigger city someday. I graduated with a Biology degree with plans of Med School, but I don't think that's for me anymore. I'm still trying to figure out my career goals.
