And I would be glad to hear it. But this research > has implications that range quite a bit farther than just neurology. Sure, but he would be able to provide much better perspective, I think, than a Scientific American article on the subject. I read things on physics in the news and there can be a systematic bias in the news stories towards a particular slant. The slant is usually what would make the story sound a bit more interesting to the casual observer. We have two questions that have been raised by the Democrats: nerve cell regeneration and Alzheimer's prevention/reversal. Both are tied in with neurology. My mom had a neurosurgeon, for example, perform her back operation and her roommate at the hospital was a stroke victim. There may be other issues, that's true, but the two that have been raised fit very well into Zimmy's expertise.
