Eshelman, and a catalogue of 25 of his landscapes.
How unassuming government researcher Marshall Nirenberg beat James Watson, Francis Crick, and other world-famous scientists in the race to discover the genetic code.The genetic code is the Rosetta Stone by which we interpret the 3.3 billion letters of human DNA, the alphabet of life, and the discovery of the code has had an immeasurable impact on science and society. In 1968, Marshall Nirenberg, an unassuming government scientist working at the National Institutes of Health, shared the Nobel Prize for cracking the genetic code. He was the least likely man to make such an earth-shaking discovery, and yet he had gotten there before such members of the scientific elite as James Watson and Francis Crick. How did Nirenberg do it, and why is he so little known? In The Least Likely Man, Franklin Portugal tells the fascinating life story of a famous scientist that most of us have never heard of.Nirenberg did not have a particularly brilliant undergraduate or graduate career. After being hired as a researcher at the NIH, he quietly explored how cells make proteins. Meanwhile, Watson, Crick, and eighteen other leading scientists had formed the "RNA Tie Club" (named after the distinctive ties they wore, each decorated with one of twenty amino acid designs), intending to claim credit for the discovery of the genetic code before they had even worked out the details. They were surprised, and displeased, when Nirenberg announced his preliminary findings of a genetic code at an international meeting in Moscow in 1961. Drawing on Nirenberg's "lab diaries," Portugal offers an engaging and accessible account of Nirenberg's experimental approach, describes counterclaims by Crick, Watson, and Sidney Brenner, and traces Nirenberg's later switch to an entirely new, even more challenging field. Having won the Nobel for his work on the genetic code, Nirenberg moved on to the next frontier of biological research: how the brain works.

Do you find that the "recommended" retirement savings sound just wonderful for millionaires but a tad absurd for the rest of us? Would you like some real answers to your retirement questions? The authors of the Get Real Guide to Retirement provide balanced no nonsense answers to the full gamut of retirement issues.

Pagel and Franklin H. Schapiro are in an excellent position to provide retirement advice, particularly to the next group of retirees, the Baby Boomers. Both Frank and Judy came into this world just two years before the start of the Baby Boom. As such, they spent a good part of their life experiencing problems which the Baby Boomers would face, but they faced them two years before the Boomers would. (Think of issues like an overly competitive job market and career ladder, and now retirement.) These two big data, high tech doctorates have now been retired a little over six years. They enthusiastically share their first hand retirement experiences with you, both good and bad. You will particularly like those issues that just do not get mentioned in other retirement books, i.e., those experiences you only know about because you have been there. Frank and Judy have been there - recently. They also share their expertise gained in business and academics. For money management issues, Frank's last position was in wealth management at one of the nation's largest banks. For house and home and using 21st century skills, Judy brings her experience from her last position as an IT project manager working at a Fortune 50 company. Also of interest, she was recently diagnosed with a long term physical disability, putting her in the unique position of experiencing early many of the issues advancing age will bring.
