Bio
Bob Root-Bernstein is a Professor of Physiology at Michigan State University in East Lansing, MI, USA. He has degrees in Biochemistry and History of Science from Princeton University and was a Post-doctoral Fellow in Theories in Biology at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies. A MacArthur Fellowship encouraged his multidisciplinary activities, especially research on scientific creativity and art-science interactions. He has written more than 40 book chapters, 150 peer-reviewed papers, 75 popular essays, and 4 books: DISCOVERING (1989); RETHINKING AIDS (1993) ; HONEY, MUD, MAGGOTS, AND OTHER MEDICAL MARVELS (1997); and SPARKS OF GENIUS (1999), the latter two with his wife, Michele Root-Bernstein. He is at work on two more books, one on artists and musicians as scientists and inventors and the other on eminent scientists as visual artists. He is on the editorial board of LEONARDO, an art-science journal, and has exhibited his artwork in a number of group shows of scientist-artists.
