When I was fifteen, I had to do a research project for my high
school biology class. I decided to measure
the electrical signal
from the heart of a live frog. To do the experiment, I was going
to have to PITH the animal—sever
its spinal cord while it was still
alive, thus paralyzing it—before
cutting it open. I borrowed an
oscilloscope to measure
current, a voltage amplifier, and some
red and black electrodes. My science teacher, Mr. Crandall, said
it was an impressive project for a high school junior
school biology class. I decided to measure
