Encouraged by Fred Meins, one of his professors at the University of Illinois, to try his hand at lab work, Thomson became intrigued by the mysteries of early development--the burst of biological activity when the fertilized egg implants itself in the womb, then starts dividing and forming the specialized cells that turn miraculously into various tissues in the body. Most researchers studying these events used mice, but Thomson, after earning a Ph.D. in molecular biology at the University of Pennsylvania, as well as a veterinary-medicine degree, turned to more...
