[This is a little unusual, but it might be of great interest to the vets on the list, and who knows, maybe it'll tie into someone else's research requirements... I've only pulled a couple highlights from his resume, which is near 20K long. Going by his resume, Dr. Gavrilov is one of the top people in his field, _anywhere_. This may be a major opportunity for someone. I've subscribed Dr. Gavrilov to the FML, but he can unsubscribe by sending the request to [log in to unmask] If you wish to send mail to him, please respond to [log in to unmask] If you wish to see the full resume, send mail to [log in to unmask] and I'll forward a copy of the whole thing.
