...center, Janelia Farm, was Cech’s “dream project,” says Alexey Wolfson, a biochemical researcher at Colorado whose lab is next to Cech?...
That’s not to say his work in the lab wasn’t fruitful. He has recounted meeting a Grinnell co-ed, Carol Martinson, “over the melting point apparatus in a make-up Organic Chemistry lab.” They would go on to marry and have two daughters...
...lab, Cech examined a one-cell organism to study strands of ribonucleic acid, or RNA. Specifically, he investigated RNA splicing, in which cells convert long RNA strands into shorter ones, removing unneeded stretches. It was previously thought that enzymes catalyzed the cutting and reassembling process, and that RNA itself played a more passive role...
...FROM THE LAB ROOM TO THE CLASSROOM While the scientific world grappled with the implications of Cech’s finding, colleagues at Colorado and beyond say that Cech relished the opportunity to explain that discovery—and the basics of chemistry more generally—to undergraduates at the school...
...HHMI created the “million-dollar professor” program, in which 20 leading researchers received $1 million over four years to bring the creativity they had shown in the lab to the undergraduate classroom...
