Biology 255 was organized by me, Jon Pearce. I'm a professor in the Computer Science Department at San Jose State. I have a lot of experience traveling and living in the developing world. I spent Fall of 2001 and Winter of 2004 as a Fulbright Scholar in Sri Lanka. Naturally, I will be accompanying the group. More information about me can be gleaned from my home page (http://www.cs.sjsu.edu/faculty/pearce/pearce.html).
The best way to contact me is by email: jonpearce@myway.com. My office at San Jose State is 213 MacQuarrie Hall. I'm usually there Monday and Wednesday afternoons. Stop by or call (408) 924-5065.
