Abstract

Most of my research support has come from the National Institutes of Health. In fact, NIH has supported me continuously since 1971. I was a pre-doctoral NIH trainee from 1971–1975 and had a postdoctoral fellowship from NIH at Stanford, and my first NIH R01 grant arrived shortly after moving to Rockefeller in 1978. This whole pathway of research opportunities was not uncommon in the 1970s. During my time at Rockefeller, I have had unwavering interest and encouragement from many of my colleagues, but especially Norton Zinder, Jim Darnell, Gunter Blobel, and Torsten Wiesel. I also had the good fortune to marry an immunologist in the 1970s, Laurel Eckhardt, now Hesselbach Professor at Hunter College, who has loved discussing the “clock problem” as it unfolds almost as much as I have. This work was supported in part by a grant from Calico Life Sciences.
