About
You might say that I am something of a professional student. I returned to neuroscience research after a 25 year hiatus and am very much up to speed with my contemporaries. Currently I am PhD 5 at at Arizona State University but my research is carried out at the Barrow Neurological Institute in downtown Phoenix. Due to funding shortages I have been self-supported throughout the past years including paying for tuition, books, and travel expenses to research meetings. When people ask me why I am doing this at this stage in my life I simply point to my M.Sc supervisor. At age 86 he still works every day and continues to publish. Consequently that still leaves me with a potential 20-25 year career - and besides I hate golf or whatever older folks are supposed to do in retirement. I also run small internet art business on the side (www.justwalldecor.com) and have no intentions of "slowing down". Ideally I would like to finish my PhD in the coming year and arrange postdoctoral work in California. As a Monty Python character once said, "Not Dead Yet ! ".
