Paul Nelson recounts in a brief video released today, when precisely such a group got together at Wistar, there was a lot to argue about: Today marks the anniversary of the conference’s opening, April 25 in Philadelphia.Ĭertainly, so goes the cherished story, there would be nothing fundamental to debate about if you got together, say, a meeting of biologists, physicists, and mathematicians from MIT, Harvard, the University of Chicago, plus stellar scientific intellects like Nobel laureate Sir Peter Medawar, University of Paris mathematician Marcel-Paul Schützenberger, and others.
