Extractions: George Wald was born in New York City on November 18th, 1906, of immigrant parents, Isaac, who had come from a village near Przemysl, in what was then Austrian Poland, and Ernestine Rosenmann, from a small village near Munich, in Bavaria. After attending public primary and secondary I schools in Brooklyn, he received the degree of Bachelor of Science from Washington Square College of New York University in 1927; and then took graduate work in zoology at Columbia University , from which he received the Ph.D. in 1932. During this graduate period he was a student and research assistant of Professor Selig Hecht. On receiving the Ph. D. he was awarded a National Research Council Fellowship in Biology (1932-1934). This was begun in the laboratory of Otto Warburg in Berlin-Dahlem and it was there that Dr.Wald first identified vitamin A in the retina. Vitamin A had just been isolated in the laboratory of Professor Paul Karrer in Zurich, and Dr. Wald went to Karrer's laboratory to complete the identification. That done, he spent a period in the laboratory of

He applied to Columbia University for graduate studies in zoology and was accepted. Wanderjahre, Wald assumed his first academic position in 1934 as Tutor in Biochemical Sciences at Harvard. He remained at Harvard his entire academic career, becoming Instructor and Tutor in Biology in 1935, Faculty Instructor in 1939, Associate Professor in 1944, and Professor of Biology in 1948. His research at Harvard initially confirmed and then extended his postdoctoral research. These studies brought him to Woods Hole in the summers to work at the Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL). He returned to The MBL virtually every summer, teaching for many years in its famous Physiology Course and becoming, eventually, a Trustee of the Laboratory.

Memory Of Prof. George Wald

http://www.geocities.com/Athens/1527/wald.html

Extractions: We should all pay tribute to the memory of Prof. George Wald, who was one of the very first scientists to speak out about the dangers of genetic engineering. He was also a great teacher. He passed away last Saturday. Below are two short quotations from him on the subject and his NY Times obituary: "Recombinant DNA technology [genetic engineering] faces our society with problems unprecedented not only the history of science, but of life on the Earth. It places in human hands the capacity to redesign living organisms, the products of some three billion years of evolution. "Such intervention must not be confused with previous intrusions upon the natural order of living organisms; animal and plant breeding, for example; or the artificial induction of mutations, as with X-rays. All such earlier procedures worked within single or closely related species. The nub of the new technology is to move genes back and forth, not only across species lines, but across any boundaries that now divide living organisms. The results will be essentially new organisms. Self-perpetuating and hence permanent. Once created, they cannot be recalled." "Up to now living organisms have evolved very slowly, and new forms have had plenty of time to settle in. Now whole proteins will be transposed overnight into wholly new associations, with consequences no one can foretell, either for the host organism or their neighbors.

Extractions: Harvard biologist and Nobel laureate who, while allowing that life in the Universe was probably common, argued strongly against any attempt to establish contact with an extraterrestrial race. At a 1972 symposium on "Life Beyond Earth and the Mind of Man," sponsored jointly by NASA and Boston University, he said that he could "conceive of no nightmare as terrifying as establishing such communication with a so-called superior (or if you wish, advanced) technology in outer space." His fear was that human enterprise in arts, sciences, and other fields would come to an end once our race became "attached as by an umbilical cord to that 'thing out there.'"

Extractions: Studying rhodopsin, which occurs in the rods (dim-light receptors) of the retina, Wald discovered in 1933 that this substance consists of the colourless protein opsin in combination with retinal, a yellow carotenoid compound that is the aldehyde of vitamin A. Rhodopsin molecules are split into these two compounds when they are struck by light, and the enzyme alcohol dehydrogenase then further reduces the retinal to form vitamin A. In the dark the process is reversed, but over a period of time some of the retinal is lost. This deficiency has to be made up from vitamin A, and if the body's stores are inadequate, night blindness results.
