edit data

I'm a professor of Anatomy at Howard University College of Medicine in Washington, DC and teach first-year medical students about the cells and tissues of the body and about the function of the brain. I got my BS from Cornell in 1972 and my PhD from UCLA in 1977. I've published 45 publications in scientific journals or books, and 11 books (4 for the general public, 7 as textbooks or books for scientists). I am married to a wonderful girl named Paula. We both enjoy gardening in our backyard in suburban Virginia and love to look at the many varieties of birds that visit us. We both share an interest in history. We have two sons who live in Maryland and Virginia and who make us very proud.
