MARCO Grand Rounds for January 11, 2015

From Warren KD4GUA:

THIS SUNDAY WE WILL HAVE A TREAT….IN 1994, DR. BOB CURRIER, PROF. OF NEUROLOGY AT THE UNIV. OF MISSISSIPPI MEDICAL SCHOOL WROTE A PAPER, “A Two-and-a-Half Color Rainbow,” which was printed in the “Archives of Neurology, Nov. 1994, Vol. 51.”   He autographed it with the inscription, “To Warren Brown with thanks & best wishes, Bob Currier.”  

Bob left us about 13 years ago but he left a most favorable remembrance.  (In fact, it was he who lassoed me into siding with him giving the every-other week talks on Grand Rounds, “Warren, you have an ideal location on the West Coast of Florida, you simply head your antenna NW and you  cover the entire country whereas they have a heck of a time hearing me in Mississippi and in Michigan.”   It was all true and you have been stuck with me ever since.  

Well, anyway, the talk will be on “Red-Green Deficiency” of which Bob was one of the 8% of Caucasian males who suffered from it.  In fact, his radio history relates back to this defect, eliminating him from flight training in WW II to radioman and gunner on a B-17 in Italy.  If everyone behaves, I will attempt to find Bob’s talk on Grand Rounds which was taped about 1998 and play it, if you wish, this Sunday.  

Bob was Marco’s “Walter Cronkite.”  Sunday will be his remembrance day.

MARCO Grand Rounds for January 4, 2015

From Warren KD4GUA:

This Sunday we will continue the discussion on “chronobiology.”  Recently we have found the body has not one Circadian  clock but many—are we regressing into Chinese Yin and Yang?  Did the Chinese in 500 BC discover what we have discovered now in the 21st Century?  For dessert we will throw in “Jet Lag,” is it more prone flying to Europe or in returning and what effect has the jet stream on the jet set.
