Favourite author among 2006 medalists

I am happy that the author of my all-time favourite biochemistry textbook is being awarded the National Medal of Science. Others include Dervan (Caltech bioorganic), Caruthers (Colorado, DNA etc.) and Langer (MIT materials, biology). All great scientists.

  2. Well, for several years now, it is the big green book by Clayden, Greeves, Warren and Wothers. Simply awesome. Link, just in case.

  4. That's a VERY unlikely coincidence...out of all those OC and BC textbooks out there, what are the chances?! Nice! :)
