Michael T. Madigan received his BS in Biologyand Education from Wisconsin State University-Stevens Point (1971) and his MS(1974) and PhD (1976) in Bacteriology from the University of Wisconsin-Madisonin the laboratory of Thomas Brock. Following a postdoc at Indiana Universitywith Howard Gest, Mike moved to Southern Illinois University Carbondale, wherehe taught courses in introductory microbiology and bacterial diversity as aprofessor of microbiology for 33 years. In 1988 Mike was selected as theOutstanding Teacher in the College of Science and in 1993, the OutstandingResearcher. In 2001 he received the SIUC Outstanding Scholar Award andDistinguished Professor title. In 2003 Mike received the Carski Award forDistinguished Undergraduate Teaching from the American Society forMicrobiology, and he is an elected Fellow of the American Academy ofMicrobiology. He has also been recognized by the American Red Cross as a majorvolunteer blood donor for the 24 gallons of blood he has donated since 1967.Mike's research is focused on phototrophic bacteria that inhabit extremeenvironments, and for the past 20 years his emphasis has been Antarcticmicrobiology. Mike has co-edited a major treatise on phototrophic bacteria andserved for 10 years as chief editor of the journal Archives ofMicrobiology. He currently serves on the editorial board of thejournals Environmental Microbiology and Antonie vanLeeuwenhoek. Mike's other interests include forestry, swimming, reading,and caring for his dogs and horses. He lives on a small farm near a quiet lakewith his wife, Nancy, three dogs (Kato, Nut, and Merlyn), and three horses(Eddie, Georgie, and Roscoe). Kelly S. Bender received her BS in Biologyfrom Southeast Missouri State University (1999) and her PhD (2003) in MolecularBology, Microbiology, and Biochemistry from Southern Illinois UniversityCarbondale. Her dissertation research focused on the genetics ofperchlorate-reducing bacteria. During her postdoctoral fellowship, Kelly workedon the genetic regulation of sulfate-reducing bacteria in the laboratory ofJudy Wall at the University of Missouri-Columbia. She also completed atransatlantic biotechnology fellowship at Uppsala University in Swedenresearching regulatory small RNAs in bacteria. In 2006, Kelly returned to heralma mater, Southern Illinois University Carbondale, as an Assistant Professorin the Department of Microbiology and in 2012 was tenured and promoted toAssociate Professor. She has served as Chair of the SIUC Department ofMicrobiology since 2018. Her lab studies a range of topics including regulationin sulfate-reducing bacteria, the microbial community dynamics of sitesimpacted by acid mine drainage, and diversity of phototrophic heliobacteria.Kelly teaches courses in introductory microbiology and microbial diversity, hasserved on numerous federal grant review panels, and is an active member of theAmerican Society for Microbiology (ASM). Her other interests include spendingtime with her daughter, Violet, and husband, Dick. Daniel H. Buckley is a Professor at CornellUniversity in the School of Integrative Plant Science and the Department ofMicrobiology. He earned his BS in Microbiology (1994) at the University ofRochester and his PhD in Microbiology (2000) at Michigan State University. Hisgraduate research in the laboratory of Thomas M. Schmidt explored environmentalfactors that influence microbial diversity in soils. Dan then received aNational Science Foundation Postdoctoral Fellowship to work with Pieter T.Visscher, University of Connecticut, investigating linkages between microbialdiversity and biogeochemistry within microbial mats and stromatolites. Danmoved to Cornell in 2003 where he investigates the ecology and evolution of thediverse microorganisms that live in soils. He has taught both introductory andadvanced courses in microbiology, microbial diversity, and microbial genomics.He received a National Science Foundation Faculty Early Career Development(CAREER) award in 2005
