Hah. :)
What "branch" of chemistry did you say that you earned that Ph.D. in?
Embarrassment, or was it deep embarrassment?
Pay attention to the meanings of the words sir.
Scientists do work on frogs and mice to conclude for humans before
attempting to verify.
You are talking about a Nobel Laureate here not one of your students.
How do you think did he arrive at the functional specialization of the
cerebral hemispheres, if he did not work on every animal he could get
his hands on?
I can imagine him using monkeys as well, ethically intact or not, but
he must have done more than you can imagine to reach his findings.
Regards.
