TitleLetter from George [Walt?], 21 Lakeview Avenue, Cambridge, to Otto Loewi
Date20 February 1960
DescriptionDiscusses his work - has taken over the introductory course in biology as he feels 'something quite new and different needs to be done' - thinks there is a revolution taking place in biology at the molecular level, that will mean the fusion of chemistry, biology and physics - will start with cosmology and the atom, then up to social biology ['from the atom to Hamlet']. Is working on tracing vitamin pathways in rats. Hopes to make a visit to Loewi soon.
