Why don�t we have you share a little bit of information about your early life in
Queretaro, Mexico?
00:03:00 Did you ever want to be a bullfighter?
00:04:38 So when did you first become interested in
science?
00:16:04 After working with Cannon you stayed in that
particular field?
00:17:28 So did they have the graduate program in
Mexico?
00:19:18 You had published 25 papers [before you went to
graduate school]?
00:20:05 How did you get to Cleveland in the first
place?
00:23:18
Can you describe your relationship with him [Robert Berne] and some of the
contributions you�ve made to physiology as a team?
00:25:47
Now the field of Adenosine receptors is incredibly big.
00:26:55
Have there been any clinical applications to the research that you did there
[University of VA]?
00:29:17
Can you describe any of the other relationship that you had with faculty at the
University of Virginia, any other cooperative projects?
00:30:06
So how long were you a professor at the University of Virginia?
00:30:18
And then you moved to Mexico, why did you do that?
00:35:03
You were just awarded another 3 year grant from
Commerce?, can you tell us about the work that you�re doing now?
00:36:11
You have published almost 200 articles and book chapters other the years, what
do you think are some of the most important contributions that you�ve made to
physiology?
00:39:09
You�re teaching now and you have been teaching physiology for how many years?
What do you think are the most important concepts in physiology to teach medical
students?
00:40:39
Speaking of your graduate students and all the graduate students and
postdoctoral fellows that you�ve trained over the years, you�ve certainly have
been a very successful mentor to me, I�m wondering what factors you feel you
possess that allow you to be such a successful mentor?
00:43:00
Do you have any advice for new researchers who are just starting out; maybe
researchers here or researchers in general?
00:44:21
What qualities do you think a successful scientist should possess?
00:45:03
You have to imagine now physiology, cardiovascular physiology, is going in the
future. Do you see any particular developments that are occurring now that you
can imagine will be very interesting in the future? Where do you feel that
cardiovascular physiology is going?
