- Trosko recalls his blue-collar background, his interest in radiation genetics as he pursued a doctorate at MSU, doing post doctorate work in Oakridge, TN and returning to MSU in 1966. He recalls joining the new Department of Pediatrics and Human Development in 1968, teaching genetics, and bio-medical ethics, co-writing textbooks, developing cancer research projects, and joining a 50-year research project on the Japanese atomic bomb casualties. Trosko worries about the effect moving the MSU College of Human Medicine to Grand Rapids will have on students and patient care and contrasts current political realities with a previous sense of mission and family felt by him and other faculty. Retired department administrator and faculty member Dr. David J. Kallen, Professor Emeritus of Sociology, conducts the interview.
