About the Authors

Cellupedia would not have been possible without the numerous nights of long discussions, Instant Messenger arguments, library research, night-long sessions of debugging, and most importantly the guidance of those who have supported us through the most discouraging moments. In the midst of hectic summer jobs, trips, overwhelming desires for procrastination, and anxious preparation to begin college life, we have sustained to complete our original goal, to create an interactive and enticing web-based curriculum for introductory cell biology. Through the process, we have truly experienced the ecstasy of teamwork and reinforced our friendships. Perhaps, that is the true joy of ThinkQuest.
