A long, uninterrupted conversation with Garret FitzGerald exposed a multiplex of his own ecosystems. His searching investigations of seemingly unconnected biological questions—prostaglandins in inflammation, aspirin and risk of myocardial infarction, bioactive lipids in cellular signaling—contribute to a coherent universe of scientific thought. Known for his break-through molecular biology work in the thrombotic hazards of Cox II inhibitors and more recently the relationships between molecular clocks and resilience and aging, FitzGerald has accrued a coherent or at least visionary view of the nature of scientific investigation…
