Notes
- 1.
Editor’s note: Barbara Wolff Searle and Richard Lewontin completed the surveys and contributed essays to this volume; Ursula Victor Santer, who became a research biologist, died in 2003 before she could write an essay or fill out the survey, but her widower spoke warmly of her relationship to Paul Brandwein.

The poster I prepared, describing the project—The Effects of Light on Ascorbic Acid—was carefully preserved by my mother and evidently transferred when we moved from Kew Gardens to Boston; its remnants were recently discovered, mixed with other effects, in a spare room in our house.

Editor’s note: On the joint influence of her father and Paul Brandwein on her development, see Barbara Wolff Searle’s essay in this volume.
