Appendix: Experts
For this unit, I am seeking out specialists in a variety of areas as well as the typical academic resources. Primarily I have engaged experts in their fields. Wolfgang Mergner is a heart specialist in pathology and has been enormously helpful in my appreciation of the heart and his passion for this organ. I have also had ongoing conversations with an anesthesiologist who specialized in heart research, my mother-in-law, Gertrud Mergner. And on a pragmatic side I will continue to consult with an electrician, Tom Barkus, who specializes in heat and refrigeration systems and who is a master in design and construction. Stephen Griffith, a teacher and engineer, has helped design the artificial heart prototype.
