See the link below. From the article:
“UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — Penn State alumnus Paul Berg, who received the 1980 Nobel Prize in chemistry, died Feb. 15 at his home in Stanford, California, surrounded by loved ones. He was 96.
Berg’s research impact, through his groundbreaking research involving nucleic acids, is felt by many every day in the science community.
“Hardly a day goes by in my laboratory that does not involve some aspect of his seminal discoveries that led to his 1980 Nobel Prize in chemistry,” said Paul Babitzke, Stanley R. Person Professor of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at Penn State.
Stephen Benkovic, Evan Pugh University Professor and Eberly Chair in Chemistry at Penn State, said: “Every time my lab takes a plasmid, introduces it into bacterium, and produces a protein, that procedure is directly attributable to Paul’s original insights. This technique is done all over the world.””
As noted in the article, Berg gave back to Penn State. R.I.P.
And yes, he had a good John Houseman name.
