The Cannonites

We are a special research group - enough so that our "team name" is the Cannonites. We complement each others weaknesses, we each have our strengths, but at the end of the day, it's all about the science. Here you will find a breif biosketch of current Cannonites (Don Cannon, Irma Nydegger, Perry Motsegood, Mike Ivanov, and Tim Paschkewitz) and see previous group members listed.
