Tietoja tekijästä
George Wald was born in New York City in 1906, the youngest son of Jewish immigrants from Germany and Poland. The first member of his family to go to college, he became an award-winning biologist, teaching at Harvard University for forty-three years. In 1966, Time magazine listed him in a cover näytä lisää story as "one of the ten best teachers in the country." Wald's long research career began with his discovery of Vitamin A in the eye. His further explorations of the chemistry and physiology of vision led to a 1967 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, shared with Haldan Keffer Hartline and Ragnar Granit. Wald spoke out on many political and social issues, and his fame as a Nobel laureate brought national and international attention to his views. He was a vocal opponent of the Vietnam War and the nuclear arms race, served on the Russell Tribunal on Human Rights, and worked for social justice in a broad range of national and international settings. In 1997, Wald died at his home in Cambridge, Massachusetts, at the age of ninety. näytä vähemmän
