Yes, sis got her PhD at Cornell in Ithica but graduated from UBC, SFU with her BSc and MSc s.

Her thesis was on brain plasticity and that is all the rage these days... her first publication was titled "evoked potential"... very daring! for those days... around 1964-5...

Some of her other buddies include the Queen of Sweden, the late Jonas Salk, the late Carl Sagan, the pope (for some reason) and many more!

That's so cool :cool:!

I wonder, just how does one become buddies with the pope :confused:?

I guess it happens before pope becomes a pope - see these images.

Actually it was an educational thing for the pope where scientists from many disciplines are chosen to speak to the pontiff about their subject. This was during PJPaul's reign (or whatever) and he was often caught napping! Then she'd get a free, private, 2 hour tour of the Sistine Chapel etc.

Regardless, this man spends his money on children's hospitals and a ton of self directed charities... and he has a lot to spend. He was up in Vancouver playing against our "Whitecaps" last year and turned out to be extremely cordial and with special needs children in tow etc...

You're lucky! Try living up to that! What's even worse is that she can drink me under the table easy as pie. But she's earned what she has. I remember her grossing out the family by bringing dead rats home and storing them in the freezer until she could dissect them in the garden. She'd say "(baywax)" (me being her youngest brother) come out and see the horned uterus on the rat. Yeah... really exciting sis!.

She sent me this email yesterday about another award she's getting in San Diego
Here's a snippet.

" I am so pleased that you are talking to the IMBES meeting in early June, and that we will be giving you the award for Transforming Education through Neuroscience. You richly deserve this award: You re doing such important groundbreaking work, which you talked about briefly at the Vatican meeting."

Now I'm scheduled to accompany her to Florence, Italy where she's picking up another award for her work... I'm just hoping some very rich countess picks me up and swoops away with "the famous one's" little brother, never to be seen again.
