After his retirement from Harvard, Palay accepted a position as Distinguished Scholar-in-Residence in the Department of Biology at Boston College. Even when his health began to decline, Palay taught until the spring of 2002; his students visiting his home for their seminars. He also served on several graduate student thesis committees during this period, and shared his expertise in neurocytology with the Biology Faculty at Boston College.
In 1980, he agreed to become the Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Comparative Neurology, which he edited for fourteen years; even after his retirement from Harvard in 1989, he continued as Editor-in-Chief, doing his work in the basement of his home in Concord.
He also served on the editorial boards of scientific publications as the Journal of Neurocytology, the Journal of Cell Biology, Neuroscience, Brain Research, Experimental Brain Research, Experimental Neurology and Ultrastructural Research.
