Albert Tyler June 26, 1906 1968 was an United States American biology biologist whose research was focused on reproductive biology and development in marine organisms. Tyler was born in Brooklyn, New York . He attended Columbia University majoring in chemistry . When he started graduate studies he took interest in the work of Thomas Hunt Morgan . Morgan took Tyler, and several other graduate students and research fellows with him, to the California Institute of Technology when he was hired to establish the new Division of Biology. Tyler completed his Ph.D. studies on reproductive biology and was appointed to the faculty at Caltech. Tyler s research looked at development and differentiation of embryos from a range of marine organisms. He made early use of immunohistochemical techniques and was one of the first researchers to recognize that maternal messenger RNA present in the ovum could affect differentiation. His research on nucleic acid and protein synthesis in sea urchin eggs was cut short when he died unexpectedly in 1968. References Metz, C. B. 1969. An appreciation of Albert Tyler.

His principal professional interests have included solving problems of food production and waste water processing. As an author, he has presented the outcome of the work that he and colleagues have undertaken in a series of books, as well as in the requisite scientific papers. History Todd was born in Hamilton, Ontario Hamilton , Ontario , Canada in 1939. He earned his B.Sc. 1961 in agriculture and his M.Sc. 1963 in parasitology and tropical medicine at McGill University in Montreal , Quebec, after which he did doctoral work in fisheries and oceanography at the University of Michigan . His early professional interest, involving the behavioral ecology of fish, was the basis of his work as an assistant professor of ethology at San Diego State University 1968 1970 , after which he joined the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in Woods Hole, Massachusetts , as an assistant scientist. Todd s wife, Nancy Jack Todd, trained as a dancer and is a skilled writer and editor. She has edited and added introductions to many of John Todd s books, and co written the most recent. Back in the Woods Hole days, John had begun to develop his ideas about how complicated biological food chains worked, and in their conversations Nancy wondered if ecological concepts could serve people s needs. She suggested science needed a human face.

Richard Henderson Fellow of the Royal Society FRS born 1945 is a Scottish molecular biologist and pioneer in the field of electron microscopy of biological molecules. Career Starting in 1975 with Nigel Unwin , Henderson studied the structure of the membrane protein bacteriorhodopsin bR by electron microscopy. A seminal paper in Nature journal Nature by Henderson and Unwin 1975 established a low resolution structural model for bR showing the protein to consist of 7 transmembrane helices. This paper was important for a number of reasons, not the least of which was that it showed that membrane proteins had well defined structures and that transmembrane alpha helices could occur. After 1975 Henderson worked without Unwin on the structure of bR. In 1990 Henderson published an atomic model of bR by electron crystallography in the Journal of Molecular Biology . This model was the second ever atomic model of a membrane protein. The techniques Henderson developed for electron crystallography are still in use. More recently, Dr. Henderson has devoted his attention to single particle electron microscopy he was an early proponent of the idea that single particle EM is capable of determining atomic resolution models for proteins, explained in a 1995 paper in Quarterly Reviews of Biophysics. Currently, cryo EM of single particles seems poised to achieve this goal. Life Henderson was educated at Boroughmuir High School and Edinburgh University B.Sc. Hons in Physics, 1st Class . He completed his PhD research under the supervision of David Blow at the Medical Research Council Laboratory of Molecular Biology and received the degree from Cambridge University in 1969. He has worked at the Medical Research Council UK Medical Research Council s Laboratory of Molecular Biology MRC LMB in Cambridge since 1973, and was its director between 1996 and 2006.

He obtained his Ph.D. in biology from Brandeis University . He has conducted research at the Weizmann Institute in Israel and at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory , served as an assistant professor of pathology at New York University School of Medicine New York University Medical Center and taught microbiology at the State University of New York at Stony Brook . In 1978 he became a professor of biological sciences at Columbia, ascending to the deanship of Columbia College in 1982. In 1994 Pollack chose to stop his laboratory work and focus on the interaction between science and other disciplines, most notably religion. He has authored three books on the subject, Signs of Life the Language and Meanings of DNA 1994 , which won the Lionel Trilling Award and has been translated into six languages, The Faith of Biology and the Biology of Faith Order, meaning and free will in modern science 2000 , and The Missing Moment How the unconscious shapes modern science 2001 .
