Abstract:
The British Heart Foundation sponsors the Michael Davies Young Investigator Award, and at its presentation in the Spring of 2009 two collaborators of Michael Davies spoke regarding their experiences on the Plaque Vulnerability project with him. This was to provide the winner and other nominees for the award, and colleagues at the meeting, descriptions of collaborating with Michael to sustain more than his name in association with the award. This article is an expansion of the personal reminiscences given at the time as a tribute to him, and to provide an inside story of how collaboration with such a prominent cardiac pathologist worked.
