Byron "Doc" Hansen has two degrees in nuclear science and engineering, obtained from Idaho State University, plus a Ph.D. in mechanical engineering from the University of Idaho. When he is not writing Science Club Kids books, Byron works for SCIENTECH, Inc., an engineering consulting company based in Idaho Falls, Idaho.
Byron's favorite science fiction writer is E. E. "Doc" Smith, and his favorite science fiction story is E. E. "Doc" Smith's the Skylark series. Byron's greatest frustration is losing what was apparently this planet's last copy of the Skylark series.
Byron has a soft spot in his head for all the little hairy ones, but most especially for cats. (Sadly, Byron resists all therapeutic attempts to relieve this condition.) He enjoys tennis and road trips on his Harley.
Dennis Meier has two degrees in nuclear engineering, obtained from Texas A&M University sometime during the seventies. Having completed a second master’s degree in technical communication from Boise State University, Dennis granted himself the title "Masterful," because, quite literally, he is full of master’s degrees.
A native of College Station, Texas, Dennis moved to Idaho to work at the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory when he learned that, yes, there are places on this planet that aren’t, hot, humid, and teeming with cockroaches and fire ants. He currently lives in Boise, with his wife, Donna, and their son, Justin. When Dennis is not writing Science Club Kids books, he writes and edits technical documents as the owner of 2(DM) LLC, a technical communications consulting company, and he sometimes teaches undergraduate technical communication at Boise State.
