A short, informal history of the biological sciences at Yale University

Yale J Biol Med. 2012 Dec;85(4):551-8. Epub 2012 Dec 13.

Abstract

In May 2012, Yale University's Graduate School of Arts and Sciences held a reunion for all who have received doctorates from Yale in the biological sciences. The proceedings began with two presentations on the history of biological research at Yale: one focused on the Medical School, and the other centered on the rest of the University. This essay is a lightly edited version of my account of the history of the biological sciences outside the Medical School.
