Abstract
After graduating from UC Berkeley, young Bob took at job at Bell Labs (BTL) and he and his lovely wife Patricia moved east. Somehow he found himself in a ‘‘wet’’ biological laboratory hidden in a corner of the BTL Murray Hill campus. Here Bob found Larry Frishkopf and the author, a MIT summer visitor at BTL, doing unit recording from bullfrog auditory nerves. Bob was pleased to help with the project. Sometimes, we would speculate about the tie between the electrophysiology and bullfrog behavior. As summer ended, Bob competed for and won a BTL Ph.D. fellowship. Bob chose to do his dissertation research at MIT and to address that question. I was his preceptor. He developed a novel method, sound evoked vocalizations, and skillfully demonstrated the relation of neural coding and behavior in bullfrogs. Soon after competing his dissertation research, Bob accepted a faculty position at Cornell. It is a great pleasure for me to take part in honoring Bob’s brilliant career.
