Paul Adams

I met him in class. He is a real scientist. You have to like him, he was so cute when discribing science to you; You have to admire him, becase you can feel that he is the embodiment of science; You will be moved by the way he dipicts science, you have to be attracted; You feel like you are so far away from him, because all his thoughts are so brilliant that normal people can never easily understand; You want to fall into laugh when he seems to care nothing except for science, the way he wear, the way he drink or move, but you won't because you respect him from the bottom of your heart; He will use any thing surround as a model, a pen can be a model in discribing steady-state on the axon, he will take your mp3 recorder as a model of linear association in synaptic connections, he don't bother to draw on his hand for demonstration; You can never get high scores on his exam, because it's impossible for you to fully understand a genius's thoughts...

When the old neuroscience student-fellows who graduated in 1980s, we still have the common topic of Paul Adams. What I know is that he is Fellows of the Royal Society. He is the discoverer of M-current. But then he give up his lab because he don't like the department's request for him to do something he don't like. He keeps his lectures going on all the years, to neuroscience graduate students, also to under-graduates.

Here is a interesting website of his current research, which really kind of have his style inside. "SYNAPTIC DARWINISM": http://www.syndar.org/
