Jennifer Hyndman was a founding faculty member of the University of Northern British Columbia. There she honed her passion for teaching that led to her winning the Canadian Mathematical Society Excellence in Teaching Award. When not engrossed in research on natural duality theory or quasi-equational theory she can be found in a dance studio learning jazz, modern, and ballet choreography. J. B. Nation is professor emeritus at the University of Hawaii. His research interests include lattice theory, universal algebra, coding theory and bio-informatics. He enjoys running, refereeing soccer, and playing jazz flugelhorn.
