Donald P. Robin, a former business school professor, holds a Bachelor of Science in mechanical engineering, a Master of Business Administration, and a Doctorate of Business Administration. For the last twelve years of his career, he served as Wake Forest University's endowed chair in business ethics. Robin was an academic for forty years and authored numerous articles and five books.
Robin's enthusiasm for science has developed over time. He lectured on the philosophy of science and completed a doctorate dissertation on these issues in business research. Robin's stories integrate many topics gleaned from his considerable reading of scientific literature.
For nearly 30 years, Robin has been captivated by brain science. Why would a business ethics professor be interested in neuroscience? According to the famous computer paradigm of the brain, we act entirely based on our "hard wiring" and "programming through our experiences." If so, free will is a fallacy. But, Morality and the rule of law cannot meaningfully exist without free will; because people could not be held accountable for their programmed behavior. As a result, we must investigate how the brain works and whether the computer comparison is realistic. Robin discusses brain science in his novels "Libator" and "2079: A War for Brain Enhancement."
