London: Current Biology, Ltd., 1997. First edition.
1997 ILLUSTRATED WITH CARTOONS, A SCARCE COMPILATION OF HUMOROUS ESSAYS BY NOBELIST SYDNEY BRENNER PUBLISHED IN THE PREMIER JOURNAL, CURRENT BIOLOGY.
8 1/2 inches tall hardcover, pale yellow cloth binding, gilt title to spine, [iv], 123 pp, illustrated with black & white humorous cartoons. Previous owner name to front free endpaper, otherwise unmarked, very good in very good jacket. FROM THE JACKET: "The Loose Ends columns, which have appeared in Current Biology, the leading journal of modern biological research, since the start of 1994, are Sydney Brenner's reflections on a long and fruitful life in science. Whether writing about sharing an office with Francis Crick or how best to bamboozle administrators, he is always both witty and erudite."
SYDNEY BRENNER (1927-2019) was a South African biologist. In 2002, he shared the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine with H. Robert Horvitz and Sir John E. Sulston. Brenner made significant contributions to work on the genetic code, and other areas of molecular biology while working in the Medical Research Council Laboratory of Molecular Biology in Cambridge, England. He established the roundworm Caenorhabditis elegans as a model organism for the investigation of developmental biology. Following his PhD, Brenner did postdoctoral research at the University of California, Berkeley. He spent the next 20 years at the Laboratory of Molecular Biology in Cambridge. He was one of the first people in April 1953 to see the model of the structure of DNA, constructed by Francis Crick and James Watson; at the time he and the other scientists were working at the University of Oxford's Chemistry Department. In 1976 he joined the Salk Institute in California. Brenner founded the Molecular Sciences Institute in Berkeley, California in 1996. As of 2015 he was associated with the Salk Institute, the Institute of Molecular and Cell Biology, and the Howard Hughes Medical Institute. In August 2005, He was also on the Board of Scientific Governors at The Scripps Research Institute, as well as being Professor of Genetics there. Known for his penetrating scientific insight and acerbic wit, Brenner, for many years, authored a regular column ("Loose Ends") in the journal Current Biology. This column was so popular that Loose ends from Current Biology (offered here) was published by Current Biology Ltd. and became a collectors' item.
