hope for me yet

Marshall Nirenberg was the recipient of the 1968 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, which he shared with Har Gobind Khorana and Robert Holley for their research exploring the translation of nucleotide-triplets on mature messenger RNA into specific amino acids linked along a polypeptide chain. Of further note, and of personal significance, Dr. Nirenberg recieved his master's degree in zoology at the University of Florida. His master's thesis focused on the classification and taxonomy of caddisflies.

He began his career as an entomologist.

There is hope for me yet.
