Dr Baird is Professor of Clinical Pathology at the University of California at San Diego School of Medicine and Chief of Pathology at the Veterans Administration Medical Center in La Jolla.He has received several prestigious awards in teaching. His research interests are in lymphomas, leukemias, and has studied extensively the genetics of human diseases and the genetic variations found in modern humans.

He normally closes each discussion with a tune that he has written.
