Frank Gaertner is the author of over fifty scientific publications and patents covering areas of enzymology, bacteriology, entomology, virology, and molecular genetics. He received a PhD in biochemistry from Purdue University and was a professor at the University of Tennessee for thirteen years, where he taught graduate level courses in biochemistry, protein chemistry, enzymology, and molecular genetics. He is a cofounder of an acquired company, Mycogen Corp., and coinventor of MVP, the world's first genetically engineered insecticide, and of ARCs, an economical and powerful delivery system for cytokines. He is also the author of “The Amazing Illustrated Word Game Memory Books,” an illustrated five-book series designed to increase word knowledge and high-point bonus scores in word games. And he is the author of “Sally and the Magic River,” an inspiring, fanciful short story of a young girl's triumphant recovery from injury inflicted by a serious traffic accident. His present work, “Our Self-Assembling Universe,” is his first written attempt at making sense of the astounding cosmological discoveries that are now made almost on a daily basis. It is indeed an exciting time to be alive. As an avid fan of pulp science fiction at age thirteen, it is hard to believe that we are now living that imagined future! We are learning how it all started. We are learning how to travel to the stars.
We are learning how to live forever. Brrr! That last one really gives me the shakes. It's just plain spooky! But wait, I must say, now that I'm 77, living in good health to 177 doesn't sound so hard to do, especially when one is as curious as I am and has a wonderful family of four daughters, three sons-in-law, six grandchildren, and a beautiful wife that I wouldn't mind having stick around in good health with me! Check back when I'm 177. I might not be so eager by then. By the way, lest I forget. I made number four on the charts for instrumental music on Reverb Nation! Check out my song Jaunty. It's really not too bad.view less
