...Chemist's Sister at Wellesley...
Remember the sweet kick to that Briggs Hall kiss Saturday night? Well, bub, a chemist put it there...
Laurence, tipped off last spring by a chemist friend of the theoretical possibilities of the seed, read up on the subject and was deeply impressed by what he found. He discussed the matter with President Truman, who passed him on to Oscar Ewing, Federal Security administrator. U.S. scientists had already been ordered to Liberia to study the plants, collect seeds, and investigate the possibilities of large-scale cultivation there, or of transplanting to the U.S. After talking with Laurence, Ewing expansively declared that "this may be to chemistry what the atomic bomb was to physics," and asked...
When he became president in 1933, Chemist Conant thought that he would never teach a class again. The atom bomb changed his mind. As wartime head of the National Defense Research Committee, he was horrified at the scientific illiteracy around him. Some of his like-minded colleagues, like Chemist Harold Urey of the University of Chicago, decided to spread understanding by direct political lobbying. Conant felt that he should carry on his own crusade in the classroom...
Cell chemistry is a maddeningly complicated study. It is known that cells contain certain chemicals, but they are not mixed together haphazardly like dissolved salts in a chemist's beaker. Each cell is like a great, complex metropolis. The individual citizens (atoms) are organized into intricate groups like the people of the city. Some groupings (e.g., the three-atom molecule of water) are as small and tight as families. Others are larger, like all the workers in one factory. The various groups interact constantly, their links forming and dissolving as the cell lives and grows. Certain single large molecules...
