I’ve never met another Basil, much less someone who shares my last name. There is, in fact, another Basil Considine out there – Dr. Basil Considine, Jr., MD, to be precise. I’m a musician; he’s a leading researcher in radiation oncology and rectal cancer. He is also the reason that I’ve twice been asked by the National Science Foundation (much to my surprise) to review various studies. Sadly, it would be unethical (and a bit deceitful) for me to take them up on their offer at this stage in my career. I do teach at the Boston Medical Center and BU Medical Campus, but my study of medicine is more of the armchair observer.
If you should happen to see this, Dr. Basil, drop me an email – I would be more than happy to point the NSF in the right direction when they next come calling.

This just in – I will be speaking at the Renaissance Society of America’s Annual Meeting in Montreal 24-26 March 2011.
Justin Werner is a very talented high baritone who’s sang with RSOC for many years (2006 – Sir Gaheris, The Fall of the Round Table; 2007 – The BUPD Officer, The Frat Party; 2008 – Mario, Don Giovanni di Casanova). Sadly, he will soon be leaving Boston for newer pastures – but before he disappears he’s organized a giant sendoff in the form of an opera scenes performance. Cast are fellow RSOC alums Elissa Edwards (Kate, The Frat Party), Rachel Anne Hippert (Rose Red, The Strange Tale of Snow White…), Belinda Paige (Alicia, The Frat Party), & Daniel Ross (Narrator, The Fall of the Round Table; Dan, The Frat Party; Turrino, The Wedding Fiasco), among others.
