Today the science leadership of Krasnow took lunch together (as we do every semester) at a wonderful Turkish restaurant down the road. The conversations were substantive ranging from Rob Axtell talking about using agent-based modeling in the context of theoretical medicine to Avrama (Kim) Blackwell expressing the hope that we would one day, really understand the cellular basis of both classical and operant conditioning. There are now 17 PI’s at Krasnow–there were perhaps five, when I took the job of director in 1998. With a total staff of around 60, the Institute has really grown.
