E. Magnus Ohman, MD: Hello, I'm Magnus Ohman, and I want to welcome you to another edition of Life and Times of Leading Cardiologists. We're very fortunate to have Dr Joe Hill here from Dallas, Texas, who is professor of medicine and molecular biology at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center. He is a well-known cardiologist, and probably best known to all of you as the editor-in-chief of Circulation, one of the premier journals in cardiovascular medicine. Welcome.
Joseph A. Hill, MD, PhD: Thank you, Magnus. It's my pleasure to be here.
It Started With 'The Bear'
Ohman: You have done a lot of things throughout your life that led to the editorship of Circulation. I think most of us would be interested in how you got into science. Where did it all start?
Hill:One of the joys of an academic career is the plasticity of the career path. I went to a high school in Burlington, North Carolina, which was a fine place. I told my sons that the high school they went to was 10 times better. But a chemistry teacher influenced me to such a level that I knew science was my future. I went to Wake Forest and majored in chemistry and math.
