Here are a few of our lab manuals that are currently being used in laboratory courses around the country.
Principles of Biology
Randall L. Detra, Ph.D, Neumann University
"After several years of frustrating deadlines, oppressive format limitations, complicated chain of command and high cost to the students, I decided I needed an artist/publisher for my biology laboratory manual who is skilled, flexible, timely, attentive and directly accountable...
M435: Tissue Culture and Virology Laboratory
Tuli Mukhopadhyay, Ph.D, Indiana University
"I would highly recommend Rick's company to anyone who is designing their own lab manual. Rick very efficiently compiled all of my labs, added illustrations as we discussed via phone and email, and after a short while the manual was ready for publication. As the course was taught more often, I...
Microbiology for Majors
Julie Shaffer, Ph.D, University of Nebraska at Kearney
"I would definitely recommend RLSimonson Studios to anyone wanting to create their own lab manual. Rick was easy to work with and really listened to what I wanted. He took my ideas and designed a product that has made teaching the class so much easier. Students find the format easy to follow...
L313: Cell Biology Laboratory
Richard Holdeman, Ph.D, Indiana University
"Rick Simonson is top-notch designer, who has helped me develop a better-looking, higher-quality lab manual for my students. In addition to doing great work, Rick is easy to work with - he is responsive, quick, and really works hard to get the manual in a form that best fits the needs of...

Microbiology Laboratory
Greg Pryor, Ph.D, Francis Marion University
"Rick's enthusiasm and dedication are truly extraordinary! While helping me with the manual for my microbiology lab course, he has demonstrated responsibility, reliability, and attention to detail.

Biology 151 - Cell Function and Inheritance
Christopher Kvaal, Ph.D, Saint Cloud State University
"I needed a service that would enable my General Biology teaching lab protocols to be dressed up and published in a manner that would satisfy me, my students, and my bookstores. Rick met all these needs in a professional and timely manner. I have made editorial changes and Rick has made this...
Microbiology for Nursing Students
Tara Grove, Otterbein College
"Working with Rick was a great experience! He was easy to reach when we had questions and always prompt to respond. He made writing our first lab manual a very enjoyable experience. We loved the fact that he could take a simple, little, 'scribble of a figure' and turn it into a professional image that...
