DISCLAIMER

Upon Dr. Root’s immediate, tragic death, it was “as if his body of work was spewed by a tsunami across the four corners of the earth.” In many ways this website is a “mad dash” against mortality. Many primary source individuals have passed away. Many are in their sunset years. Much information is stashed behind professional paywalls and buried in academic archives. Dr. Root passed so fast that no one was able to prepare. Dr. Root worked 100+ hours a day. His output was immense. To gather and disseminate initial big picture information we use Large Language Models, digital professional sources, hard-copy sources from Dr. Root’s personal library, along with personal observation (the Root family) and personal interviews.

“My father ate, drank and slept medicine. It was the inevitable topic of every meal. Almost every social event doubled as “grand rounds” or a “medical conference.” Staff recruitment was done at our family dinners, which we could never miss. We worked in his labs. We know a lot already - 99% more than any LLM or library could ever know. (Don’t worry, doctors, we will keep the ‘good stuff’ confidential.) The question is: who has the time to gather all of this work that grew exponentially through all of the doctors, programs and publications our father spawned? ” - Richard Allen Root
