Sitting in a steakhouse with Ralph Nappi, former president of the Feinstein Institute for Medical Research, I explained our lab's findings that stimulating electrical signals in the vagus nerve can prevent inflammation. My ballpoint stick figure foreshadowed a scientific path that could revolutionize broad sectors of the medical industry and benefit millions of people…
