Salzberg received his B.S. from Yale College in 1963. In 1965,he received his A.M. and in 1972,his Ph.D.,both from Harvard University. In 1971,he joined the Yale University,School of Medicine for post doctoral research in Physiology. In 1972,he joined the Marine Biological Laboratory,Wood Hole as an investigator and continued working there in the summers until 1994.[2]
Career
In 1975,Salzberg joined the University of Pennsylvania as faculty and been there since. He is currently professor of Neuroscience and of Physiology at the University of Pennsylvania.[3]
In 1986,Salzberg was elected to the council of the Society of General Physiologists and served there until 1988. He was elected to the council and to the Executive Board of the Biophysical Society in 1987 and served there for three years. He was re-elected to the council of Biophysical Society in 1998 and re-elected to the executive board for two years in 2000.[4][5]
Athletics
Salzberg is a long distance runner who completed 21 marathons between 1973 and 2007 including 7 Boston Marathons and 4 NYC Marathons. Between 1977 and 1992,he finished 7 marathons.[6][7]
