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

Family trips to Yellowstone and to what are now national parks in Southern Utah, driving the primitive roads and cars of that day, were real adventures.

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

If our society continues to support basic research on how living organisms function, it is likely that my great grandchildren will be spared the agony of losing family members to most types of cancer.

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.

During my early years at Minnesota I conducted an evening enzyme seminar.

It was always assumed that I would go to college.
