Michael Oberdorfer Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 Rockefeller University announced that Nobel laureate Paul Greengard has died. His studies on how nerve cells communicate began before neuroscience was established as an independent discipline, and his contributions helped define the field.

Jaadeja Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 So sorry to hear this. I do feel special having shared the same space with this eminent scientist at a poster presentation. What a remarkable human being. So intelligent yet still so curious to hear about my findings and what a gentleman. I have admired his work and accomplishments for decades. Worldwide people have benefitted from his discoveries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Oberdorfer Posted April 20, 2019 Author Share Posted April 20, 2019 Steve, Thanks for echoing my comments. My experiences with Paul G. were few but similar. He was one of a kind.

Michael Oberdorfer Posted April 23, 2019 Author Share Posted April 23, 2019 Steve, Sorry I didn’t get back to you sooner. Carol and I were traveling to San Francisco where we are moving from the East to be closer to our son Peter and his family. Needless to say it’s been hectic. I’ll get back to you with more news later. Again, great to hear from you, Mike Oberdorfer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
