Bruce Goldman, MS, is a senior science writer in the Office of Communications. He covers immunology, infectious disease, transplantation, neurosciences, neurosurgery, bioengineering, molecular and cellular physiology, and biochemistry. A recovering philosophy major from the University of Wisconsin, he’s done his best to cover his tracks by obtaining yet another bachelor’s degree, this time in engineering physics from the University of Colorado, and attending finishing school, in cell biology, at Harvard University, where he received an award for his teaching of an undergraduate biology course. Articles he has written while at Stanford Medicine have won well over a dozen awards from the Association of American Medical Colleges and the Council for Advancement and Support of Education. He is a member of the National Association of Science Writers and the co-author of two books about the future: 2020 Visions: Long View of a Changing World (Portable Stanford) and Fast Forward (Harper). Once upon a time, he drove a car to Afghanistan. He can play guitar with his toes, but only while fast asleep and dreaming.
