"A sensitive drama about an aged scientist in an anti-intellectual era." -Kirkus Review, vol. 87, February 2019
"Jellyfish Have Eyes" is the "somewhat autobiographical" story of an eminent scientist whose study of jellyfish eyes earns him condemnation rather than acclaim." -Ellyn Wexler, Montgomery County Gazette, October 2014
"Piatigorsky's debut novel is a suspenseful thriller mixing the biological sciences - and politics. It is a rollicking tale... and deserves a wide audience." -Kensington Park Friends of the Library, November 2015
Joram Piatigorsky, an award-winning scientific researcher, established the Laboratory of Molecular and Developmental Biology in the National Eye Institute in 1981 and was its Chief until 2009, when he became an Emeritus Scientist.

He is presently on the Board of Directors of the Writer's Center in Bethesda, Maryland and focusing on writing. Jellyfish Have Eyes, a novel, combines Piatigorsky's scientific knowledge and story-telling imagination to delve into the conflicts and ensuing difficulties of a creative basic scientist in a society insisting on goal-oriented medical research. This character-driven novel has unexpected twists revealing the importance of chance and societal pressures in shaping destiny.
