Re: Possible new JHN columns
Dear Stanley Finger, I certainly would be interested in working on an "art and science" section. In parallel to my main activites in neuropharmacology & drug development I have been working for some years on scientific iconography and have taken part in the organisation of four exhibits (on anatomy, the images of the brain, Ramon y Cajal , and the relationship between art and science in the past 2 centuries, see my enclosed short CV). I am presently completing a book on the history of the "models" of the soul (petite histoire de l'âme). To give you an idea of my work I also join the draft of a short paper that I am finalising on agalmophilia (I plan to submit it to a psychiatry journal, but do not yet know which would be the best, and would appreciate suggestions - an earlier french version has appeard in the "mélanges" dedicated to a friend from the Basle Museum for his 8Oth anniversary). Please feel free to contact me. Best regards Laura Bossi
