Development of scientific creativity is often tied closely to mentorship. In my case, two years with Julius Axelrod, the sum total of my research training, was transformative. My mentoring generations of graduate students and postdoctoral fellows has been as nurturing for me as it has been for them. Work in our lab over fifty years has covered the breadth of neurotransmitters and related substances, focusing on the discovery and characterization of novel messenger molecules. I can't conceptualize a more rewarding professional life.
科学创造力的发展通常与指导密切相关。以我为例，我在 Julius Axelrod 手下工作了两年，这是我全部的研究培训经历，这对我产生了变革性的影响。我指导了一代又一代的研究生和博士后，对他们来说，这对我来说也是一种滋养。我们实验室五十多年的工作涵盖了神经递质和相关物质的广泛领域，专注于发现和描述新型信使分子。我无法想象更有意义的职业生涯。
