How Postdoctoral Research in Paul Greengard's Laboratory Shaped My Scientific Career, Although I Never Did Another

Abstract:
In this short review, I describe from personal experience how every step in the career of any scientist, no matter how disjointed and pragmatic each might seem at the time, will almost inevitably meld together, to help us all tackle novel projects. My postdoctoral research in Paul Greengard's laboratory, where I investigated neurotransmitter-mediated phosphorylation of Synapsin I, was instrumental in my career progression, and Paul's support was instrumental in my ability to make a leap into independent research.
