'DIANA is, unfortunately, a bust'

This is heartbreaking. We lost an outstanding mentor and an exceptional scientist. Larry was an inspiration to many, and I did my best work under his supervision. It makes me sad he will not be around to see the end product, but I will do my very best to make him proud!

Don't miss this! THIS WEDNESDAY AT 4 PM EDT:

Joseph LeDoux Joseph E. LeDoux "The Four Realms of Existence" -- neuroscientist, writer, and musician -- will tell his unofficial story.
