| She's really...intense. |
Introducing Peregrine! Looking at this relationship from the outside has been...illuminating. We're going to spending some time with these two for a while. Hope you enjoy.
FYI: Dr. Candace Pert is the woman who first discovered the chemoreceptors responsible for addiction to heroin. Her name was left of the paper by the senior scientist on the team when it was submitted for the Nobel Prize. She had the courage to raise a fuss. Her team didn't win the prize and it looked like her career was in trouble. Fortunately, being a kick-ass neuro-scientist allowed her to raise to flourish. She founded the organization WIN (Women in Neuroscience). And continued to make meaningful contributions to the study of the brain, hormones and addiction until her death last year.
Her book "The Molecules of Emotion" is pretty good. Check it out sometime.
