People Are Not The Only Interesting Organism

First Of All, Many Human Diseases Are Influenced By, If Not Caused By Mutations In Genes.

My Parents Came To The United States In The Early Years Of This Century As Part Of A Wave Of Russian Jewish Immigrants Seeking Freedom And Opportunity In The New World.

People Are Not The Only Interesting Organism On Earth. From The Point Of View Of Scientific Or Commercial Value, There Are Lots Of Interesting Organisms.

So I Applied To Medical School And Received A Scholarship At Washington University In St. Louis. Washington University Turned Out To Be A Lucky Choice. The Faculty Was Scholarly And Dedicated And Accessible To Students.

At Every Stage Of My Career I Have Had Interesting And Cordial Colleagues, Some Of Whom Are Close Friends.
