This Time At Birmingham Turned Me Into

I Met My Wife Anne Who Was A Sociology Student, And Her Influence Together With Activities Associated With The Student Movement Of The Time Opened Up My Interests Amongst Other Things Into The Theatre, Art, Music, Politics And Philosophy.

My Parents Were Neither Wealthy Nor Academic, But We Lived Comfortably And They Were Always Extremely Supportive Of My Academic Efforts And Aspirations, Both At School And University.

My Main Efforts Focussed On Trying To Identify The Rate Controlling Steps During The Cell Cycle. Crucial For This Analysis Were Wee Mutants That Were Advanced Prematurely Through The Cell Cycle And So Divided At A Reduced Cell Size.

Better Understanding Of The Natural World Not Only Enhances All Of Us As Human Beings, But Can Also Be Harnessed For The Better Good, Leading To Improved Health And Quality Of Life.

I Was By Far The Youngest Of The Family, And At Times It Was Like Being An Only Child.
