Jay Hersh aka Dr. Beer®

Jay's activities include the following:

Fledgling Author. Click here to learn more about Jay's first novel "Mundo Maya: Revenge of the Jaguar King", an action adventure set in the jungles of Belize, home of the enigmatic Maya, a once mighty civilization that has mysteriously disappeared leaving only the towering remains of their temples as mute testimony to the nature of their past glory.
Leading beer tastings for alumni clubs and other social functions under the trade name Dr. Beer
Teaching classes in Sensory Evaluation to professional brewers.
Publishing Beer Doctoring Guidelines.
Compiling useful information for beer hunters on places we have been such as Quebec, Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, and the Czech Republic among others.
Writing articles on some of his beer related travels, and even a brief history of computer input devices.
An amateur interest in the history of brewing and berwing equipment. He has scanned many photos of historical brewing equipment and even some interesting pieces of historical brewing texts.
Photographing the wildlife at our house in Lincoln, MA.
Jay is currently writing a novel inspired by his experiences in Belize. He is also planning a documentary film series on Maya Archeological Sites.
Jay is on the Board of Directors of a fabulous Eco-tourism resort which has just opened in Punta Gorda, Belize. The resort is called Cotton Tree Lodge. Check it out for info on the great activities available there. .

Joyce Hersh (formerly Joyce Miller)

I am a patent attorney at the intellectual property law firm of Hamilton, Brook, Smith & Reynolds, P.C., and a graduate of the High Technology Law Program at the Suffolk University School of Law in downtown Boston.

Before I went bad, I was a Research Scientist, and a Group Leader on the Mouse Genomic Map Project at the Whitehead Institute / M.I.T. Center for Genome Research. The Mouse Map is part of the Human Genome Project,which isn't really such a silly idea once you realize that all mammals share 40-60% of their DNA. Mice suffer from a great many diseases that are directly analogous to diseases found in humans-- high blood pressure, colon cancer, epilepsy, obesity, diabetes, to name a few. Making the mouse a part of the Human Genome Project actually speeds up research on human diseases, thereby ensuring that we all live 17 and 44/100 years longer than we would have otherwise, and that there won't be any Social Security money left when we retire. Feel free to peruse my varied professional background.

There are other things that I like to spend my time on. One is my ferrets. One odd little pet project of mine is to locate pictures of ferrets in art history. You'd be surprised at how much fan mail this page gets.

I also enjoy doing historical embroidery, mostly Medieval Period, but haven't had much time for that lately. You can see some of the pieces that I've finished, and some I still hope to complete by going to my embroidery page.

Like Jay, I also enjoy homebrewing, but I prefer to make mead. The Mead Lover's Digest is a great source of information, and I have created a book of recipes from it, called the Bee's Lees.
