George Geyser is a hero and to others he is a lucky slob. However unexpected, the cure for Alzheimer’s is a long awaited relief. George’s discovery is an example that microbes can be used therapeutically.

Interdisciplinary scholarship and teaching has a fairly sound footing on many college and university campuses where this or that institute, &#8220;studies&#8221; department, or entire school is dedicated not to the tools and techniques of a traditional discipline but to answering a particular question of immediate and practical interest.
