| Introduction | JG Nair is a pediatrician and writer. After college, he completed a Masters degree in cell biology at Yale University where he worked as an unwitting model for his futuristic “genetic tailors,” piecing together and sequencing genes. After a brief stint teaching at University of Maryland, he abandoned the laboratory to work as a farmhand in New Zealand. Unable to withstand the gravitational pull of a "responsible life," JGN reluctantly left his idyllic agricultural existence in NZ and returned to the U.S. where he stumbled into medicine and the unexpected realization that he was destined to torment children (in a good way). He completed his pediatrics residency at Vanderbilt University. The graphic novel Gezlinger’s Knot will be JGN’s third book. The first, The Healer Book 1: The Phantom Limb (written as Ja Man) launched in 2009. The Healer Book 2: The Tree of Pain will launch in 2012. In addition to writing sci-fi, JGN has coauthored twelve scientific papers ranging in scope from studies of multi-drug resistant tuberculosis to prey tracking in mantis shrimp. |
