Carrick Talmadge was born in Richmond, IN. He received a BS in Physics from Saint Vincent College in 1981 and a PhD at Purdue University in 1987, focusing on experimental gravitational physics. His thesis advisor was Ephraim Fischbach. He
remained on staff at Purdue before transferring to the Uni- versity of Mississippi in 1998. He has worked on a variety of areas in science, including experimental gravity research, astrophysics, hearing science, low-frequency sound, infra- sound, and metrological sciences (including calibration and sensor design).
Roger Waxler was born and raised in New York City. He received a BA in Math- ematics from the University of Chicago and a PhD in Physics from Columbia University, working on theoretical solid state physics with J. M. Luttinger. He be- gan research on acoustics while visiting
Penn State University and then accepted a position in the National Center for Physical Acoustics (NCPA) at the Uni- versity of Mississippi. At the NCPA he has been specializing in acoustic phenomena and propagation in the atmosphere.
