Synopsis

Stanley Falkow is known by scientists and students around the world as the father of the field of molecular microbial pathogenesis and one of the greatest microbe hunters of all time. His perspective and work have informed almost every aspect of our relationship with the microbes with which we interact from the day we are born.In his Memoir, And What’s Beyond That?, Stanley Falkow takes us through the meandering life journey of a young boy born to Jewish immigrants during the Great Depression who didn’t think he was good enough for most of what life would bring. Eighty-four years later he had contributed to more than 450 scientific publications, trained over 120 scientists, and made many seminal discoveries while trying to answer a seemingly simple question, “What is a Pathogen?” What makes some microbes disease agents, while other similar microbes are innocuous commensals or even beneficial symbionts?
