More by example than by word, my father taught me logical reasoning, compassion, love of others, honesty, and discipline applied with understanding.

I have a tendency to be lucky and make the right choices based on limited information.

An unexpected benefit of my career in biochemistry has been travel.

The excitement of vitamins, nutrition and metabolism permeated the environment.

It was always assumed that I would go to college.

In marked contrast to the University of Wisconsin, Biochemistry was hardly visible at Stanford in 1945, consisting of only two professors in the chemistry department.

Over and over, expanding scientific knowledge has shown religious claims to be false.
