Since I Essentially Knew Nothing, I Had

Finally One Should Add That In Spite Of The Great Complexity Of Protein Synthesis And In Spite Of The Considerable Technical Difficulties In Synthesizing Polynucleotides With Defined Sequences It Is Not Unreasonable To Hope That All These Points Will Be Clarified In The Near Future, And That The Genetic Code Will Be Completely Established On A Sound Experimental Basis Within A Few Years.

Almost All Aspects Of Life Are Engineered At The Molecular Level, And Without Understanding Molecules We Can Only Have A Very Sketchy Understanding Of Life Itself.

Biologists Must Constantly Keep In Mind That What They See Was Not Designed, But Rather Evolved.

I Think She [rosalind Franklin] Was A Good Experimentalist But Certainly Not Of The First Rank. She Was Simply Not In The Same Class As Eigen Or Bragg Or Pauling, Nor Was She As Good As Dorothy Hodgkin. She Did Not Even Select Dna To Study. It Was Given To Her. Her Theoretical Crystallography Was Very Average.

Protein Synthesis Is A Central Problem For The Whole Of Biology, And That It Is In All Probability Closely Related To Gene Action.
