Memory Hound captures the life of a globetrotting scientist as he travels around the world. It is a life journey that crisscrosses the continents and the Twentieth Century, as historical events intertwine with scientific discoveries. The resulting chronicle is not just about Science, but about Life in and with Science.Written for people who love science and the humanities alike, Memory Hound offers insight into the mysterious universe of cells as well as concepts of scientific reasoning. In this world successes and failures can often lead to epiphanies and radical shifts in the direction of scientific inquiry and newfound priorities and applications in the field. The large section devoted to the author's formative years, on the backdrop of the Second World War, lends Memory Hound the emotional heft of a Bildungsroman, as the author witnesses the fall of a dictatorship and the surge toward social justice. What ultimately unites life and science is the centrality of memory as a cognitive survival tool, both in the Immune System and in the brain. A concept Celada investigated in a fruitful collaboration with Umberto Eco.
