spent a lot of time in the chemistry lab, where sometimes created mischief.

4:58: Dawn asks if it is true that Stephen nearly flunked out of college when he first started.

5:16: Dawn comments that Stephen got his PHD in physiology at McGill University which is when his interest in science really caught on and asks how that came about.

5:55: Stephen talks about communicating with Desmond Morris while Stephen was working on his post-doc.

8:03: Dawn asks about Stephen’s post-doctoral research, for which he traveled to Aberdeen London and Nova Scotia; as well as what prompted his interest in nutrition in the brain.

9:01: Dawn mentions that in 1986 Stephen became a faculty member in the department of nutritional sciences at the University of Toronto. She asks how he ended up teachingAbstract: DESCRIPTION: (adapted from the application): This project proposes to examine the relationships between longevity, nutrition, and reproduction in the Medkerranean fruit fly. It will be framed around the recent finding that the life history of female medflies can be characterized by two physiological modes with different demographic schedules of fertility and survival: (I) a waiting mode in which both mortality and reproduction are low; and (ii) a reproductive mode in which mortality is very low at the onset of egg laying but accelerates as eggs are laid. The project will involve Drs. James Carey (UC Davis), Lawrence Harshman (University of Nebraska) and Linda Partridge (University College London) with data gathered at the Moscamed mass rearing facility in Tapachula, Mexico under the direction of Dr. Pablo Liedo.
