...always, growing in intensity throughout the year, came the horrifying pictures of the apocalypse that war in the nuclear age would mean. Astronomer Carl Sagan and Biologist Paul Ehrlich warned a sober scientific
...this trio, only Martin and Knowles appear to be serious candidates. Dowling, a biologist, said last week he has never discussed the possibility of becoming dean with Bok. Both Martin and Knowles--who is on sabbatical in England this year--refuse to speak about the subject in say whether Bok has approached them about the post...
...study is actually two efforts, by cooperating groups of scientists, one headed by Cornell Astronomer and TV Personality Carl Sagan and the other by Stanford Biologist Paul Ehrlich. They presented their findings at the two-day Conference on the Longterm, Worldwide Biological Consequences of Nuclear War. It was attended by some 600 American and foreign scientists and environmentalists and addressed by satellite by four Soviet counterparts in Moscow. Among them: Evgeni Velikhov, vice president of the U.S.S.R. Academy of Sciences. The Soviets said they had independently come to roughly the same conclusions as the Sagan-Ehrlich teams...
...story of Never Cry Wolf, from Farley Mowat's best-selling autobiographical account, seems to beg for such treatment. A young biologist (Charles Marin Smith) dispatched by the Canadian government to the wilds of Alaska to monitor the depletion of Caribou herds at the fangs of wolves, finds that these predators don't conform at all to the fearsome image of snarling savagery--they're actually peace-loving, good-natured animals...
Inspired by these experiments, Watson, then a young Ph.D. in biology from Indiana University, decided to take a crack at the complex structure of DNA itself. The same thought struck Crick, a physicist turned biologist who was preparing for his doctorate at Cambridge. Neither man was particularly well equipped to undertake so formidable a task. Watson was deficient in chemistry, crystallography and mathematics. Crick, on the other hand, was almost totally ignorant of genetics. But together, in less than two years of work at Cambridge, these two spirited young scientists showed how it is possible to win a Nobel Prize...
