Boyle earned a B.Sc. in Biology (Marine) from Humboldt State University (2003), and a Ph.D. in Zoology from the University of Hawaii at Manoa (2010). Scientific specializations include molecular, genetic, developmental and microscopical research on embryonic and larval life histories of marine invertebrates. Michael completed Postdoctoral Research Fellowships at the Smithsonian Marine Station (SMS) in Florida, and the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute of Panama. He became a staff Biologist at the SMS (2016–2022), and joined the Institute for Creation Research as a research scientist in March, 2022. Dr. Boyle has produced over 30 peer-reviewed academic research papers. Scott Arledge was employed as a laboratory technician with the Institute for Creation Research from 2019 to 2023. During that time, he managed the aquaculture and husbandry of the Astyanax mexicanus cavefish model, and performed preliminary experiments. Brian Thomas received a master’s in biotechnology in 1999 from Stephen F. Austin State University, Nacogdoches, Texas, and a Ph.D. in paleobiochemistry in 2019 from the University of Liverpool. He has worked for the Institute for Creation Research since 2008, contributing to magazine, book, and online content while specializing in fossil proteins. Dr. Thomas is a research scientist at the ICR. Jeffrey Tomkins earned a B.S. in Agriculture Education from Washington State University (1985), a M.S. in plant science from the University of Idaho (1990), and a Ph.D. in genetics from Clemson University (1996). After completing post-doctoral research in genomics, he became a faculty member in the Department of Genetics and Biochemistry at Clemson and director of the Clemson University Genomics Institute. In 2009, he joined the Institute for Creation Research as a research scientist and was appointed Director of Research in 2020. He has authored 66 secular journal papers, 42 creation science journal papers, and 6 books. Dr. Randy Guliuzza has a B.S. in Engineering from the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology, a B.A. in theology from Moody Bible Institute, an M.D. from the University of Minnesota, and a Master of Public Health from Harvard University. Dr. Guliuzza served nine years in the Navy Civil Engineer Corps and is a registered Professional Engineer. In 2008, he retired as a lieutenant colonel from the Air Force, where he served as 28th Bomb Wing Flight Surgeon and Chief of Aerospace Medicine, and joined ICR as National Representative.
