   Did you know Benzer?

   • If you know Benzer, it’s probably through Jonathan Weiner’s masterful book, Time, Love, Memory Time, Love, Memory, which focused on how Benzer discovered the influence of genes on behavior in fruit flies. But Benzer was one of those rare scientists who had enough time in his life for more than one great project.

   When did Benzer start molecular biology?

   • At the time, molecular biology was in its infancy, and much of the inner workings of the cell was a mystery. Benzer took up molecular biology right around the time that James Watson and Francis Crick discovered the structure of DNA. Scientists were beginning to accept that DNA, not proteins, were the stuff of genes.
