From the earliest time I can remember I wanted to be a scientist, especially a physicist. I am not entirely sure where this came from, but at least in part it must have come from my parents (Fig. 1) who deeply valued education, especially in science and medicine. I was really fortunate and owe my parents a lot – they made me feel that I could do an...
Yale provided the perfect environment in which a committed young scientist could develop while also immersed in the broader culture. Yale was big enough to provide every opportunity, yet organized into relatively intimate units (Colleges) small enough to foster the individual. The students had all varieties of interests, and my friends were drawn l...
My father had cnvinced me that I should go to a medical school rather than directly to a PhD program. At that point my knowledge of biology was as narrow as my knowledge of physics was deep, and it would have been impossible to make an informed choice of which discipline in biology to focus on. Therefore, I entered Harvard Medical School (in 1971) ...
A life in research provides many opportunities to meet remarkable people as a student and afterwards around the world. It is hard to over-emphasize the importance of several formative, warm and enduring friendships for my development and success as a scientist. Some evolved from what we would today call mentoring relationships, initially with somew...
As a closing bookend, I will offer some observations that may be of interest to others, especially younger scientists. This is not necessarily to impart specific advice, which would be disingenuous as I rarely followed the advice I was given as a young man; it is more to offer the use of some of my personal experiences as a springboard for generali...
In addition to me (1950) my parents Gloria Rothman (née Hartnick, born 1923) and Martin Rothman (1915–2005) had two children, Richard (1953) and John (1955). My brother Richard is an MD-PhD who recently retired from the NIH after many years as a leading researcher in neuropharmacology, and is now in practice in Psychiatry. John is a successful atto...
James Edward Rothman was born on November 3, 1950 in Haverhill, Massachusetts (U.S.A.). He went to public schools in Haverhill, Massachusetts for elementary school through 8th grade, and then to Pomfret School (Pomfret, Connecticut) in 1964, from which he graduated in 1967. He then matriculated at Yale College, graduating summa cum laude in 1971 wi...
