#2 — Part 1: Special Tribute to Nobel Laureate Gerald Edelman

Gerald Edelman was an American biologist who shared the 1972 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for work with Rodney Robert Porter on the immune system

In a nearly six decade long career, Gerald M. Edelman’s research spanned diverse areas of biological science, including immunology, developmental biology, and neuroscience. The common thread running through all of Dr. Edelman’s pursuits was an enduring interest in the relationship between biology and human experience.

Neural Darwinism represents the culmination of his efforts to reconcile the two.
