(2001) - the cruel peer review process has hampered progress by eliminating some of the best brains from research in the biosciences!

This issue is really important, but a simple appeal as in this report won't work. So, you've spent the last 13 years trying to keep someone alive, sacrificing everything, and I mean everything. They are the light of your life, they die, the last thing you want to hear is "can I have his brain?". Needs addressing far more deeply and well before that day comes. About 1/3 of my babies brain is already in a jar somewhere, I really hope that the learned fellows who took it are learning fast. The rest is still with me. Oh, BTW you missed epilepsy off the list. Sorry to be blunt, comes with the job. Fri 05 Jun 2009 23:45:20 GMT+1
