Subject: re: vitrifying whole brains

Hi everyone!

I confess to being unaware myself of the results in the Annals of the
New York Academy of Sciences. I did know that Greg Fahy had plans to
try vitrifying SLICES of brain tissue, and was waiting for his results,
but not that any attempt had been made on whole brains. 

Since Greg gets a subscription to PERIASTRON for telling me of his 
work, this news was even a little disappointing --- unless for some
reason Greg played no role at all in these experiment(s).

In any case, I shall check the paper myself and report on it in the 
next issue of PERIASTRON, and emphasize it to the degree I think
it deserves emphasis after reading the original paper. Naturally I 
hope that it stands up well.

            Best wishes and long long life to all,

                    Thomas Donaldson
