Larry always signs his name thus:
I would like to tell you a story about a very famous 'student' who was Dr. Anton J. Carlson, Professor of Physiology in the Department of Physiology at the University of Chicago. He was also referred to as the "Father of American Physiologists" because he produced so many of them. He was a colleague and friend of Ivan Pavlov, who made a special trip to Chicago to visit Dr. Carlson during his only trip to the United States.
Whenever Dr. Carlson gave a talk or lecture, he always began by saying "Fellow Students", no matter who was in the audience - Nobel Prize winners, medical doctors, graduate or college students, other famous scientists. He may have even used this expression when speaking to the rich, well-dressed ladies who were anti-vivsectionists whom he frequently addressed and whose views he strongly opposed.
And, of course, we all loved him for that, and also because he taught us that no one is too old, or rigidly-minded, or too naive to learn.
I, too, am still a student, overwhelmed by what I still do not know or understand. And like Larry, still learning.
Thanks for reminding me, Larry.
