Douglas Bratthall was an inspirational cariologist known for his playful curiosity, thoughtful inquisitiveness, incisive scholarship, and energetic leadership. He became a time, mind, and global traveler who viewed his career path as an exotic safari. This ‘Discovery!’ report identifies where his era’s burning issues have led and how they were shaped by his contributions.
