Ricki is the author of Life, an introductory biology text; Human Genetics: Concepts and Applications; co-author of two human anatomy and physiology textbooks; and author of Discovery: Explorations in the Life Sciences, an essay collection about research and the nature of scientific investigation. As a Contributing Editor to The Scientist, a newspaper read by scientists worldwide, she writes frequently on the latest research and news in biotechnology. Since 1980, Ricki has published more than 3,000 articles in a variety of magazines, including a cover story on DNA fingerprinting in Discover and book reviews for The New York Times. Ricki participates in Science Forum, a monthly call-in science program on public radio, and is a frequent invited speaker. She is an adjunct professor at Miami University and the University at Albany, where she has taught a variety of life science courses, and also taught at Empire State College and several community colleges. She brought science experiments to grade school classrooms for three years as part of a traveling science museum, for which she obtained a Howard Hughes Medical Institute grant.
