Laura Fratiglioni, principal investigator at the Aging Research Center (ARC), remembers Marti Parker (1951–2017) as "a 20th century scientist with a renaissance touch”. Marti Parker was also a teacher, a novelist, a poet, and co-founder of the Swedish Writers Group (SWG).
The review is published in its entirety on SWG's website.
“It tells the wonder of Marti in a way that we have not throughout the publishing process”, says Karen Hagersten, one of the contributors to the anthology.
