Na skupu u Cavtatu naslovno predavanje ce odrzati Tim Hunt, koji je tijekom ljetnog kursa 1979 godine na Woods Hole otkrio translacijsku kontrolu ciklina A i B, koji su neophodni za reguliranje stanicnog ciklusa, i za to je otkrice mnogo godina kasnije dobio NObelovu nagradu za medicinu.
P.S.
I like this part in Postscript of his autobiography:
Of the many letters of congratulation that arrived after the announcement of the Nobel Prize, the one that gave me the purest pleasure was from a Swedish woman called Kerstin Westin in Uppsala, enquiring if I was, by any chance, the Tim Hunt she had known in Oxford in 1950 when she worked as an au pair girl with my family - and I was. Unlike my brother Sandy, who was only 5 at the time, I could clearly recall the young girl who looked after us all those years ago, and we had a happy reunion 51 years later in Stockholm. Apparently, nothing about the 7-year old boy gave any hint of his future.
I would say that I was lucky to grow up in a loving family with wonderful teachers. Later, as a young scientist, I had the further good fortune to witness many of the founders of molecular biology at close hand. They set the standards of what was and could be expected. For my generation, Francis Crick was probably the most obviously influential presence....

Dodao bih samo jos ovu recenicu na postscript:
"But none of these pleasures, great and satisfying though they are, match the joy of discovery."
