Webb People Bios
NOTE: this page loads by default showing ALL bios, current and formerly on the project. You can then apply various filters to narrow the scope of what is shown. The filters are ANDed together, for instance if you chose Webb-People-Engineers and Webb-People-Former you get a set including all of both of those groups. Be sure to see the "pagination" controls BELOW the listing as the results maybe spread across more than one page. SWG stands for Science Working Group.
