This professional history describes my journey as a research scientist after my early training and experiences in the pre- and early post-World War II United States. My graduate training concentrated on a problem in astrochemistry: phenomena on comets. As my career developed, I felt confident enough in myself as an experimentalist to enter, and make contributions to, several different fields: structural biochemistry (via nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy), molecular immunology, pharmacology, neurochemistry, and cell biology. One emphasis is on the nature and quality of my scientific training that permitted me to do cross-disciplinary work. A second emphasis is on the technical and intellectual developments in late twentieth-century science and how, along with the changes in American society as it passed through three major wars, they influenced my life and thought.
这段职业经历描述了我在二战前及战后初期在美国接受早期培训和积累经验后,作为一名科研人员的历程。我的研究生阶段专注于天体化学中的一个问题:彗星上的现象。随着职业生涯的发展,作为一名实验人员,我对自己充满信心,从而能够涉足几个不同领域并做出贡献:结构生物化学(通过核磁共振光谱法)、分子免疫学、药理学、神经化学和细胞生物学。一个重点是我科学训练的性质和质量,正是这种训练使我能够开展跨学科工作。另一个重点是20世纪后期科学的技术和知识发展,以及随着美国社会经历三场大战所发生的变化,这些发展如何影响了我的生活和思想。
