Started grad school 1 yr.post Asilomar (after working 10 yrs as a tech) and remember the turmoil and also some thoughts back then. We had entered the big money science era and competition was fierce. One aspect of those meetings was the idea big things were in the offing and those who already had a head start intended to keep it by limiting entry to late comers. Also, researchers not in or interested beinfg in recombinant DNA research feared it would siphon off the big money. Remember Geo. Wald, a Nobel recipient, running all over the country screaming for total ban so that horrible life forms not be concocted in some Frankenstein lab. Point being take a good long look at possible motives of alleged well wishers.
Very interesting first-hand knowledge and recollections. I wonder when the USG started its University scientific grant programs to further the cold war bio-weapon industry, or was that all in-house?
Probably in house at beginning. In AF was working on germ (virus)warfare detection. Really not much we could do then. Technology not there yet
Thank you.
Way off subject but think you will enjoy. Told you big rino hunt underway. Well our Ag commissioner, Sid Miller, has endorsed an opponent of a phelan crony who then challenged miller to a…duel. Miller accepted and said since he was challenged had the choice of weapon. He chose…words! Said he would use them showing conservatives how his voting record was anthetical to their wishes. I really like our Ag ommissioner.
I have watched a few videos of him. He is truly a larger than life representation of a true Texan. He breeds and trains American Quarter Horses and in his spare time, is a recognized rodeo cowboy who holds 12 world championship titles.
AG Paxton doesn’t disappoint re Supreme order: This fight is not over, and I look forward to defending our state’s sovereignty.
Like Isaid,rino hunting season has started. Only wish we had other than that bottle of cold pressed sitting in the governors chair.
I get two mags, 1st Freedom and American Spectator, which is quarterly but get emailed articles. One came today and included this:
Abbott needs to stop busing migrants to Chicago, New York, Detroit, Denver, and other blue cities around the country and focus his itineraries on the one place that matters most. Every single migrant who crosses into Texas ought to be collected and shipped to Washington, D.C.
Let the nation’s capital become the world’s largest migrant camp. Let the schools, hospitals, gymnasia, theaters, hotels, airports, train stations, police stations, fire stations, arenas, and government buildings be overrun with migrants to such an extent that nothing but their care can be accomplished. Turn every park in Washington into a tent city for Bolivians, Guatemalans, Chinese, and Pakistanis to litter, micturate, and defecate at their leisure within.
Shut down D.C. with illegal migrants. Bury it. Focus the suffering; trap it where the power brokers live. Make them so miserable that they scream for respite from the refugee camp their city has become. Maybe then we’ll see some change.
L.b.j. basically did that and all d.c. did was put the refugees it created on the dole or into make work jobs it created by agencies redundancies. Gave them the voters they like and juries that appeal to today’s d.o.j. Prefer to see them run back over the river and have Mexico support them til it stops the flow
How interesting. I've been in D.C a lot over the years and always wondered about the varied complexions I would see there but not iin other places.
I used refugee speaking in p.c.
WOW, that is a great article Shelley!
Bury it.
Bury it.
Bury it.
