Frank Cockerill is a prominent microbiologist who lives and works in Rochester, Minnesota. He spent ten years practicing Internal Medicine and Infectious Diseases at the Mayo Clinic, but more recently has switched his focus to Clinical Microbiology.
He has many interests outside of the lab, and says that one of his favorite things to do is travel. He especially likes to get off the beaten path when he is traveling, and enjoys taking walking tours of the areas that he visits. Over the years, his work has provided Frank Cockerill with opportunities to work in international capacities. He was appointed to the Vital Blood Culture System Scientific Committee in Lyon, France, and served on it from 1993 to 1996. He has also been an advisor to COMBACT Diagnostics, Inc., in Tel Aviv, Israel.
These experiences have provided Frank Cockerill with a means of increasing his knowledge of the world and how it works, and of widening his perspective. Viewing new customs and ways of living that are different from what he is used to helped to broaden his perspective about life.
As a medical man, Frank Cockerill understands that travel can do more than broaden his perspective and let him see parts of the world he hadn't seen before. Research indicates that traveling can actually keep your brain and body healthier as you age, and not just in the short term but over time. It is possible, he speculates, that physicians may one day prescribe travel for their patients, as its health benefits become more widely accepted.
