“Dogmatic and unyielding at scanning magnification” & “reasonable and accommodating at high power”

Over the weekend I passed along the death of Dr. Ackerman. There is a more compete obituary today.

This line from the obit sums up Dr. Ackerman:

"Asked to describe himself in an interview with a medical journal, Dr. Ackerman used the terminology of the microscope. He said he was “dogmatic and unyielding at scanning magnification” but “reasonable and accommodating at high power” and “humane and empathic up close.”"
