Memory research using planarians

Add a comment

Planarians are truly experiencing a “Golden Age” of neuroscientific discovery.
Here is a link to a very well-written and interesting article by the journalist Arielle Duhaime-Ross. I have the honor of knowing the young scientists who is the subject of the article. Also, one of the scientists who were interviewed for this article is your acquaintance. I will give you a hint:

I am a husband, a father of three, and a baldie, who also happens to be a pretty good (I hope) University Professor and Researcher. My undergraduate degree is in General Science, and my MS is in Biochemistry, both from the University of Puerto Rico. My PhD is in Pharmacology, with an emphasis in Neurobiology, from Cornell University. I love science! (do I really need to say it?) In this blog, I mainly talk about science, especially to non-scientists, but from time to time I explore topics like how is it like to raise a boy with autism, science fiction, education, etc. I am usually able to give these and other topics a scientific twist. I also blog about my favorite (non-human) types of organisms, the flatworms, especially planarians. I use planarians as animal models in pharmacology. If you’d like to see my papers so far, click here. Even though I am well published in scientific journals, I got the popular science writing bug relatively recently. I am a scientist who writes, and I have published three book so far. I hope you enjoy my posts. The opinions expressed in this blog are mine alone. They do not represent the views of my employer, my wife, my children, my parents & siblings, or Chuck Darwin…
