Medical Student Research –a Relatively New, but Essential, Phenomenon
If your doctor is more than 40 to 45 years old, good chance that he or she never did any, or much, research while in medical school, unless he or she was also a PhD.

John Aguilar is a prolific expressionist and abstract painter, represented by dozens of works in the Emeritus Exhibit, on the walls of the Emeritus College Center in Old Main and in many private collections. His medium is usually acrylic, his subjects widely varied and his essence mystical, bringing a sense of peace and fulfillment to the viewer, even with his most agitated themes. John’s violin playing, a frequent treat at College gatherings, conveys the same.
