Autorenporträt
Bruce Carlson, MD, PhD, has long been professionally involved in the abortion controversy as both an expert witness and the author of a major textbook on human embryology, Human Embryology and Developmental Biology, now in its seventh edition. Since retiring after a 40-years as a professor at the University of Michigan Medical School where he was Chairman of the Department of Anatomy and Cell Biology and later Director of the Institute of Gerontology, he has been writing books that translate science into language understandable to those without a formal scientific background. He has written over 20 books, mostly in the areas of embryology, regeneration, muscle biology, and anatomy and has edited another 15 symposium volumes and translations. In conducting his research, he has lived for extended periods in the USSR, Czechoslovakia, the Netherlands, Finland and New Zealand. In a former life, he was a fish biologist and has written several books on the natural history of lakes and aquatic invasive species.
