Sad to hear of Paul Kulesa's passing. Paul was a pioneering scientist in neural crest cell biology with labs at Stowers, Notre Dame and CMRI. I will remember most Paul's generosity in sharing his time, expertise, and wisdom with junior colleagues like myself. brossspidlemonuments.com/index.php/20...
