But I Felt It Necessary To Be

Looking Back, I Realize That Nurturing Curiosity And The Instinct To Seek Solutions Are Perhaps The Most Important Contributions Education Can Make.

With Time, Many Of The Facts I Learned Were Forgotten But I Never Lost The Excitement Of Discovery.

That Work Led To The Emergence Of The Recombinant Dna Technology Thereby Providing A Major Tool For Analyzing Mammalian Gene Structure And Function And Formed The Basis For Me Receiving The 1980 Nobel Prize In Chemistry.

Moreover, The Concern Of Some That Moving Dna Among Species Would Breach Customary Breeding Barriers And Have Profound Effects On Natural Evolutionary Processes Has Substantially Disappeared As The Science Revealed That Such Exchanges Occur In Nature.
