Our colleagues over at the U of California-San Diego campus are developing a "brain bank" but only for "interesting people" like Donald Trump, a woman who played a flying monkey in the movie "The Wizard of Oz", and other "interesting characters. One "reasonable" account of what is going on is provided by the Bloomberg news website; see: http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2011-04-21/brain-collector-seeks-trump-like-donors-to-probe-how-personality-is-formed.html
The Wall Street Journal, a Murdoch paper that "interesting" people the world over read, also has an article on this but is more "concise"; see: http://blogs.wsj.com/health/2011/04/22/brain-bank-wants-donors-with-interesting-lives-like-trump-and-a-flying-monkey/?mod=google_news_blog The Wall St Journal article starts with: |Wanted: Politicians, business executives, actors and others to |participate in a study on personality and the brain. Requires |interesting/colorful life history, significant non-monetary donation. I guess the study doesn't want any of those dull and boring academics, y'know, like the guy who thought up this project. Anybody on Tips ever played a flying monkey? If so, maybe UC-San Diego wants to talk to you, you "interesting person" you. -Mike Palij New York University [email protected] --- You are currently subscribed to tips as: [email protected].
