For extra fun, ask Sanes to pronounce the name of "Rita Levi-Montalcini," a famous Italian neurobiologist. You won't be disappointed, believe us. Professor Jeffrey Lichtman, who has a somewhat strange fetish for powerful microscopes, is perhaps the better lecturer of the two (though his sense of humor might leave some scratching their heads.) Both are receptive to questions, even in mid-lecture, and clearly put effort into their lessons...
