College
Something I learned about the founding of NIH...I had a professor at NIH in a biological spectroscopy class. It was about identifying medicinally important compounds from plants. My professor was Dr. Henry Fales of the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute. He was one of the first fifty or so employees at NIH under the Eisenhower administration. I used to ask him about explorations in the Amazon and elsewhere regarding the search for novel medicinal compounds..anyway he was way cool...he had these huge books about all the compounds that were identified from tribal medicine traditions given to NIH researchers from around the world..he said after the first few years though they really stopped collecting alot of information pertaining to medical folklore because by the time you reached the end of a river or trail everyone under the sun made medical claims about all kinds of plants, animals, etc. because they heard from tribes downstream that you would trade T-shirts and other goods with them for information...within every experience there's always a learning curve...but what about those first few years?
