Where did you receive your training? I attended the Art Institute of Pittsburgh from , but never finished. Most of my training came from hands-on experience. I met a lot of really good artists at the Art Institute and studied under some great talents in the industry such as Jerry Gergely and Greg Funk, and occasionally Tom Savini.
Where are you currently based out of?
What are your future projects? I currently teach a series of classes on Special Makeup FX at . It's a smaller scale than some of the big makeup schools, but my focus is to teach some of the fundamentals to those who can't afford thousands on big elaborate makeup schools.

NF: I worked extensively as a Special Effects Technician on the Frankenstein character. The only thing I can really tell you at this point is that he looks amazing, sort of a bio-mechanical look. I also worked on some of the appliances for the vampires and "bat" pods. There were some other stuff we created for it which I believe they ended up scrapping. It's too bad, as some of it was pretty neat.
Nf:I'm not a director, though you never say never. I've tried producing, but hate all the legwork and headaches that come with it. I'm very happy just seeing my work up on screen. To me, that's the payoff for all the hard work. I truly believe that this is the most fun line of work I could ever do. It's grueling, it's stressful, but there's not

Faith and Science Resources
As a Christian who is a professor and scientist, I have a long-term interest in understanding the intersection between my Christian faith and science.
The Christian view is that the Bible is the primary way in which God communicates information about himself to humankind. However, the natural world also tells us about God, and science is concerned with the study of the natural world.
Like many, I wrestled with apparently contradictory information I received in Christian churches and my formal science training. However, I have been grateful to discover several books written by individuals working through the same questions and false dichotomies. There are also several organizations that provide thought-provoking content in these areas.
While I don’t pretend to have all the answers related to the integration of faith and science, the resources below have been helpful to me as I wrestle through these questions.
The Reason for God (book by Timothy Keller). Timothy Keller has exerted one of the largest influences on my faith and growth. His honest, intellectual approach to life’s most important issues has long resonated with me. The Reason for God is one of the most important books I have ever read, and I have often gifted it to others. Relevant to faith and science, chapter 6 of this book, entitled “Science Has Disproved Christianity,” is particularly helpful. This is one of several chapters addressing common objections to God. This book addresses much more than faith and science, but I couldn’t help mentioning it as a go-to resource.
Creation, Evolution, and Christian Laypeople (essayby Timothy Keller). I was thrilled when I first discovered that Timothy Keller had written an essay on creation and evolution, topics that are frequently presented as examples of conflict between faith and science. I was not disappointed in his careful handling of these issues. I highly recommend this freely available essay for those inter
Beatrice Tinsley
New Zealand astronomer (–)
For the asteroid, see Beatrice Tinsley.
Beatrice Muriel Hill Tinsley (27 January – 23 March ) was a British-born New Zealand astronomer and cosmologist, and the first female professor of astronomy at Yale University, whose research made fundamental contributions to the astronomical understanding of how galaxies evolve, grow and die.
Life
Beatrice Hill was born in Chester, England, as the middle of three daughters of Jean and Edward Hill. The family emigrated to New Zealand following World War II, first living in Christchurch, and then for a longer time in New Plymouth, where her father was a clergyman, Moral Re-Armer, and later became the mayor (–56).
While studying in Christchurch, she married physicist and university classmate Brian Tinsley, not knowing that this would prevent her from working at the university while he was employed there. Tinsley completed her master's thesis in They moved in to the United States, to Dallas, Texas, where Brian was hired by the Southwest Center for Advanced Studies (now the University of Texas at Dallas). However, she was said to have found the situation "stultifying", and had once caused a controversy by refusing to follow the custom of hosting a faculty tea. In , she enrolled at UT-Austin, where she was the only woman in the astronomy programme and where she would later publish her groundbreaking research.
Despite receiving recognition for her work, Tinsley was unable to find a permanent academic position. In , after years of attempting to balance home, family and two commuting careers, she left her husband and two adopted children to take a position as assistant professor at Yale. On 1 July she was appointed a professor of astronomy at Yale, becoming the first woman to hold the position. She worked at Yale until her death from melanoma in the Yale Infirmary in
