MYJ | 1968 Nobel winner passes; studied protein synthesis

Image
Blogger Note | Cancer survival patients like me owe much to a previous generation of great scientific researchers like Marshall Nirenberg. Almost no day expires without finding reports like this about any one of the members of a legion of great scientists to whom we all owe a great debt.

"In our opinion, his contribution is one of the greatest among Nobel laureate[s] who received the prize in physiology and medicine. He discovered common language used throughout the living matter from the simplest virus to the most complicated living matter, human being[s]...

There were only the diggers and crew left and they were eating lunch.  I felt badly and apologized to the men for being late.  I went to the side of the grave and looked down and the vault lid was already in place. I didn't know what else to do, so I started to play.  The workers put down their lunches and began to gather around.  I played out my  heart and sou...
