Barbara McClintock and Frank Stahl: 1984
That was the summer of 1984. DNA Replication and the Recombination Symposium. I saw Frank Stahl towering over Barbara McClintock, the two standing by the bay. As I approached, I heard Stahl exclaim, "...but no one understood what you wrote in those days...even now I don't understand them..you meant for not any one to understand what you wrote!" McClintock shook her little walking stick in the air, "Franklin, you will never grow up!"
