I have had the singular opportunity to perform research and to participate in medical education. Not unexpectedly, people have asked me which of the two was more important to me. My answer has always been and remains that I am equally passionate about research and teaching. My research has been curiosity driven and not purposeful; hence, I was willing to take risks. That my research led to the discovery of natural killer cells and the unraveling of the molecular basis of a human disease was an unexpected reward. By contrast, my interest in medical education was purposeful, with the goal of improving healthcare by teaching pathology as the scientific foundation of medicine. It started with participation in Robbins pathology texts but progressed toward development of technology-based tools for medical education. This was driven by the belief that technology, by providing equal access to knowledge across the world, can be a powerful democratizing force.

意外病理学家:从植物进化到先天免疫的好奇心驱使之旅。

我有一个难得的机会进行研究和参加医学教育。并不出乎意料,人们问我两者中哪一个对我来说更重要。我的回答一直是,现在仍然是,我对研究和教学同样充满热情。我的研究是出于好奇心驱动的,并非出于目的。因此,我愿意冒险。我的研究导致了自然杀伤细胞的发现以及人类疾病分子基础的揭示,这是意想不到的收获。相比之下,我对医学教育的兴趣是有目的的,目的是通过将病理学作为医学的科学基础来改善医疗保健。它从参与Robbins病理学文献开始,但逐渐发展到用于医学教育的基于技术的工具。
