Tied up with fact and theory is the dictum of Prof. Maud Slye, Chicago mouse-breeding geneticist: that cancer of the breast runs in families. Also tied up with all this is the probability that, if castration actually prevents mammary cancer, the operation must be performed at least three years before the disease is expected to break...
...Pete" Little was practically born a geneticist. He received a pair of pigeons when he was 3 years old. By the time he was 7 he bred a pair which won a first prize. Then he took up mice. He inbred his first pair of mice, brown brother and sister, in 1909 when he was a Harvard junior, and has been inbreeding their progeny ever since. The herd accompanied him to Cold Spring Harbor, L. I. when he became assistant director of the Carnegie Institution's Station for Experimental Evolution (1919), to Orono...
...there is a picture of two of the famous scientific Shull brothers looking at a kymograph. You have erred in the captioning of this. The one using the apparatus is a Government botanist (J. M. Shull) as you said, but the other, Dr. G. H. Shull, is not a geneticist from the U. of Michigan but is instead a plant geneticist of Princeton University...
...easy to see how you made this mistake since the four brothers were present at the Atlantic City convention. The other two are Dr. A. F. Shull, an animal geneticist, and Dr. C. A. Shull, a plant physiologist of Chicago University. (Dr. A. F. Shull is the geneticist of the University of Michigan...
Cold & Heredity. Not only X-rays but extremes of temperature produce such mutations as abnormal eyes, queer-shaped wings and bald thoraxes in Drosophila melanogaster, the little fruit fly made famous by the genetic researches of Thomas Hunt Morgan. Many a geneticist suspects that the impacts of cosmic rays also start mutations working in the germ plasm. When the National Geographic Society's balloon Explorer II made its record-breaking flight into the upper air last year, Dr. Victor Jollos of the University of Wisconsin sent jars of fruit flies up with it, outside the gondola. The insects died...
