This photo was taken by Dr. Hiroyuki Hirano (now Professor of The University of Tokyo) at the time of the first AMBO (Asian Molecular Biology Organization) Symposium held in Kyoto (December, 1981). The photo was used in the Japanese translation of Matt Ridley's great book "Francis Crick: Discoverer of the Genetic Code" (Keiso Shobo Publishing Co., Ltd., translated by Koji Tamura) with the preface written by Kindra Crick (a granddaughter of Francis Crick). She kindly provided the photo without knowing who took it, but after the publication of the book, Dr. Hirano, a reader, turned out to be the person who took the photo. What a marvelous story! Francis Crick's 100th birthday commemorative article by Koji Tamura (Tweet by Indian Academy of Sciences) The Genetic Code: Francis Crick's Legacy and Beyond (Special Issue "Francis Crick", Life Journal) Go to "Postscript to Ridley's 'Francis Crck' by Koji Tamura" Back to "Francis Crick: Discoverer of the Genetic Code" Back to "Koji Tamura Laboratory, Tokyo University of Science" |
