He's quite a character (easy going and mischevious)! It was said in the introduction that he was known for doing many things in Cambridge, including pinching a lab tech). He said that he called the unknown protein cyclin, because he was into a bicycling at that time and wanted to give a cool name. <br /><br />He's quite an inspiration to the scientific community since he encouraged openess and sharing of information & materials to improve science in general. I guess it's because he comes from an old generation when science was just done for real interest than professional work (publish or perish), and competition wasn't so intense.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06505657060702975723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37148773.post-26553074723040101462009-04-23T15:21:00.000-04:002009-04-23T15:21:00.000-04:00Yep still alive and a real down to earth individua...Yep still alive and a real down to earth individual.
