"First of all, apart from evoking scientist George Emil Palade we organized a scientific session we consider the best way to honor Professor Palade, this scientific session one of the dolphin brain works and the similarities between the human brain and it reminds us that the thesis of Emil Palade was devoted dolphin mesoblastic structure, "said Smith.
