  • Physics Today - February 2003
    Physics Today - February 2003 Rosalind Franklin and the Double Helix Although she made essential contributions toward elucidating the structure of DNA, Rosalind Franklin is known to many only as seen through the distorting lens of James Watson's book, The Double Helix. by Lynne Osman Elkin - California State University, Hayward In 1962, James Watson, then at Harvard University, and Cambridge University's Francis Crick stood next to Maurice Wilkins from King's College, London, to receive the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for their "discoveries concerning the molecular structure of nucleic acids and its significance for information transfer in living material." Watson and Crick could not have proposed their celebrated structure for DNA as early in 1953 as they did without access to experimental results obtained by King's College scientist Rosalind Franklin. Franklin had died of cancer in 1958 at age 37, and so was ineligible to share the honor. Her conspicuous absence from the awards ceremony--the dramatic culmination of the struggle to determine the structure of DNA--probably contributed to the neglect, for several decades, of Franklin's role in the DNA story. She most likely never knew how significantly her data influenced Watson and Crick's proposal. Franklin was born 25 July 1920 to Muriel Waley Franklin and merchant banker Ellis Franklin, both members of educated and socially conscious Jewish families. They were a close immediate family, prone to lively discussion and vigorous debates at which the politically liberal, logical, and determined Rosalind excelled: She would even argue with her assertive, conservative father. Early in life, Rosalind manifested the creativity and drive characteristic of the Franklin women, and some of the Waley women, who were expected to focus their education, talents, and skills on political, educational, and charitable forms of community service.

  • THE REDISCOVERY of JORGE CARRERA ANDRADE This Is a Very Momentous Day at Assumption College As the Life and Literary Works of Jo
    THE REDISCOVERY OF JORGE CARRERA ANDRADE This is a very momentous day at Assumption College as the life and literary works of Jorge Carrera Andrade are celebrated through the good graces of our friend Juan Carlos Grijalva . I have read and translated Latin American literature for two decades and yet in 1998 the name of Jorge Carrera Andrade was not prominent in the universe of important Latin American writers available in English translation. I did not know who he was. I then discovered Carrera Andrade in an anthology of European poets published in the 1960s -for he had already lived on and off for decades in Paris as Consul General, Ambassador to France and employed at UNESCO- and I was immediately taken by one poem in this collection: LIFE OF THE GRASSHOPPER Always an invalid he wanders through the field on green crutches. Since five o'clock the stream from a star has filled the grasshopper's tiny pitcher. A laborer, he fishes each day with his antenna in the rivers of air. A misanthrope, at night he hangs the flicker of his chirp in a house of grass. Leaf rolled up and alive, the grasshopper keeps the music of the world written inside. The images of Carrera Andrade are so simple and clear even a child can see and understand. His poetry is the result of the poet’s intense magical engagement with nature, with the Indians of his native Ecuador, with the landscape of Ecuador itself and other places of the world he has traveled. I began researching this poet and fell in love with his work but continued to puzzle over the fact he was unknown in English during my own era and not represented in the major anthologies of Latin American poetry.

  • A Brief History of Ecuadorian 'Ornithofily'

Freile Received 5 July 2007; final revision accepted 23 December 2007 Cotinga 29 (2008): 15–18 Presento un breve resumen de la historia de la ornitofilia, la afición por las aves, en Ecuador. El desarrollo de este ‘hobby’ en Ecuador es reciente y está en notable ascenso, aunque la investigación ornitológica lleva ya más de un siglo de vida. Los primeros albores de la ornitología en Ecuador fueron protagonizados por investigadores extranjeros, y recién hacia 1940 apareció el primer ecuatoriano en escena. De igual forma, el aviturismo también empezó como empresa de agencias internacionales (hacia 1980), pero los últimos diez años han visto el surgimiento de operadoras nacionales con guías de primer orden. Espero que esta reseña, junto con otras publicaciones previas sobre el desarrollo de la ornitología en Ecuador, incentiven la formación de una asociación nacional de observadores de aves, así como el incremento del trabajo de campo y la investigación. Bird observation is the most popular nature-related five additional species from the western lowlands of activity, and now involves considerable sums of Ecuador (probably the surroundings of Guayaquil, money10. Bird enthusiasts number millions in his hometown) are mentioned. The most notable Europe and North America, with some of the oldest example, however, is Jorge Carrera Andrade, ornithological and bird protection societies renowned as one of the most brilliant Ecuadorian numbering between 500,000 and 1,000,000 poets. Carrera Andrade, whose work appeared from members (e.g., the National Audubon Society, in the 1922 through 1972, wrote several poems devoted to USA, and Royal Society for the Preservation of birds, such us ‘Golondrinas’ (Swallows), and Birds, in the UK).

In 1953 Watson and Crick discovered the double helical structure of DNA and Watson's personal account of the discovery, The Double Helix, was published in 1968. Genes, Girls and Gamow is also autobiographical, covering the period from when The Double Helix ends, in 1953, to a few years later, and ending with a Postscript bringing the story up to date. Here is Watson adjusting to new-found fame, carrying out tantalizing experiments on the role of RNA in biology, and falling in love. The book is enlivened with copies of handwritten letters from the larger than life character George Gamow, who had made significant contributions to physics but became intrigued by genes, RNA and the elusive genetic code.
