Abstract
In 1966 the Rockefeller University Review published the Speech made by Rene Dubos after receiving the Arches of Science Award (1). The article has two illustrations; one, the conventional picture of Dubos being congratulated by the Chairman of the committee at the announcement luncheon, the other a delightful cartoon consisting of 3 simple line drawings of a worried, thinking man, sitting at a lonely desk, slowly metamorphosing into a turnip. The caption accompanying the drawing reads ‘Deprivation of environmental Stimuli can turn man into a mental turnip!’ In the article Dubos also makes the statement ‘Human beings are as much the product of their environment as of their genetic endowment’. When one talks of environment to a human being we all have a fair idea of what is meant, but do we know what we mean when we talk of environment to a cell?
