Hmm. The toast thing was fun. You should send PZ Myers some Woesian toast. Anyway, 3D printers could be used to make "action figures" of famous scientists?
ReplyDeleteMore seriously, thank you for collecting all of these resources. I am hopeful that Norm Pace and others will put together a video---suitable for students---outlining the work of Woese.
Thank you for putting together this beautiful page. Another memorial (although of course there are many, probably more than can be catalogued, let alone read by any one person): http://www.rants.org/2013/01/04/in-memoriam-carl-woese/ .
ReplyDeleteWhat a huge loss :-(.
I worked in Carl's lab from 1977 to 1983. Heady times! I think that I was the last technician who did RNA fingerprinting. Thank you for this wonderful tribute!
