James D. Watson, molecular biologist and discover of the structure of DNA--Doctor of Science...
...biologist, I was quick to recognize that although effortlessness is unusual in "self-help" techniques, it is very common in nature. In fact, our physical growth from fertilized egg to 60- or 70-kilo, highly differentiated, adult requires little if any conscious effort on our part. This whole immensely complicated process is automatic. Thus, a simple, effortless technique said to be merely a way to optimize nature's own fundamental laws of progress did not seem to contradict anything in the biological world, so I decided to give...
...sprawling symphony of erudition, indignation, historical allusion and harmonic prose. His overture to a diatribe against the two-thirds Senate majority requirement for treaty approval: ''I don't know whether to start this piece with an American battleship dashing round the Horn in wartime, a biologist slicing the salivary gland of a female mosquito, a volcanic eruption killing 30,000 people . . . or the vote of the United States Senate last week on the Panama Canal...
Acceptance of appointment sharing by colleges is by no means universal. For example, when Peter and Sue Ellen Gruber, both now biologists at Mount Holyoke, were looking for jobs, they applied for every possible combination?his, hers, theirs?with separate letters of recommendation to match. But one time they mistakenly sent a joint letter to a college where only Sue Ellen was applying. Recalls Sue Ellen: "When the dean called me for an interview, he said, 'I notice that your husband is a biologist too. What will he do?' All of a sudden, he was backing away. I suggested that...
...apparent egg overproduction was the result of homosexual pairings of female birds, each producing the normal number of eggs. The female pairs-some 10% of the population-produce both sterile eggs and eggs fertilized by a visiting male. "We were absolutely astounded," said George Hunt, 35, a biologist at the University of California at Irvine. "This sort of thing has not been found before and was clearly not what we anticipated...
