I ran across another article that was posted on the Caltech website. It was kind of like an interview style article. The reason I mention it instead of jumping right into my ISI research was because a) it mentioned that Dabiri doesn't really like swimming and in fact is almost afraid to go into the water even though he studies jellyfish. More interestingly was a part of the article that discusses how in 2006 Dabiri and colleagues published a paper in the
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. They discussed their efforts "to use ultrasound imaging to diagnose heart disease by creating an extremely detailed picture of the jet of blood as it squirts through the cardiac left ventricle. The jet forms as blood passes from the left atrium to the left ventricle during diastole—the heart-filling phase of the cardiac cycle." Their related studies of vortices demonstrates how heart valves should look when they’re performing most efficiently. They are currently attempting to find funding for human testing.

Maybe it's because he studies jelly fish that he is afraid. I like to look at jellyfish they are so amazing looking and if watching them move so calming almost ....but the length of their tentacles(?)... is something that would keep me out of the water if I saw one in real life.
ReplyDeleteI like that you were able to find the type of material you scientist wants to publish. Couldn't it be said that a scientist who worries about the quality of their published work and it's ability to be understood would also expect the same level from the published work of others in their research?
