Description

Also includes copies of images of Pontecorvo's trip to the Cold Spring Harbour Symposium in 1946, of Pontecorvo with friends and colleagues at genetics conferences and meetings, of famous genetics figures such as Mendel, William Bateson, Hermann Joseph Muller, Jacques Monod, Seymour Benzer and J B S Haldane, and of cell cultures and somatic hybrids.
