"On a January morning in La Spezia, a city tucked in between Genoa and Pisa along Italy's Ligurian coast, Dr. Riccardo Bianchi jogged down a stretch of a road he had known since childhood, with an Olympic torch burning steadily in his hand. For a few unforgettable moments on Jan. 9, Bianchi was not only a neuroscientist, educator, marathon runner"
"Dr. Bianchi is an associate professor and associate dean for the Foundations of Medicine at SUNY Downstate Health Sciences University, where he has spent over three decades teaching, researching and mentoring students. Born in Italy in the Tuscan province of Pisa, Bianchi grew up primarily in La Spezia, a city of about 100,000 people overlooking a "beautiful harbor," as he described it. There, he completed his schooling before beginning university in Pisa"
