Kim Baldridge, creator and author of the 'MerryGold' series. She
envisioned this series as an instrument for young minds to capture
their interest and creativity in science at an early age, as well
as the older enthusiast with interest in learning more about
science. The book highlights the joy and empowerment one gains
through playful exploration of science and nature. Kim is an
accomplished theoretical and computational chemist, who, in
addition to her world-class scientific research program, dedicates
herself to the popularization of science through her books and many
outreach activities.
Teresa Abendroth, illustrator and co-author of the 'MerryGold'
series. Currently working as a Senior Editor at the University of
California, San Diego, she graduated from California State
University, San Marcos, with a BA in Liberal Studies, Summa cum
laude. She enjoys the creation of the characters, some of which are
based on real people, family members, and even pets (e.g., Mr. Buff
is a buff-colored cocker spaniel rescued from the Animal Shelter at
age five and is blind since due to severe cataracts, but is
extremely curious and always underfoot).
