Abstract:
This paper is a summary of the lecture given by Dr. Racke at a meeting celebrating the 40th anniversary of the Neuroimmunology Branch (NIB). This talk was the keynote address given at the end of the first day of lectures after a toast given by Cedric Raine, Dale McFarlin's "brother from another mother". Several speakers during the day gave their own musings on the reasons for the success of the NIB, and this lecture attempted to give a sense to those present of the speaker's view for the reason of this success.
