World renowned Greek-Australian neuroscientist George Paxinos is described by his colleagues as one of the Australia's greatest thinkers.
He's also published 57 books in the field of neuroscience.
George Paxinos is a professor at the University of New South Wales and a former President of the Australian Neuroscience Society and the World Congress of Neuroscience.
During his spare time out of the lab, he's written his first novel in the environmental genre, A River Divided.
George Paxinos says he's had two main goals in life, the first to produce the atlas of the rat brain, and the second to write this novel.
Quite simply, Professor Paxinos who is 78 says he forgot to retire!
