Mendel Quotes

• If a given scientist had not made a given discovery, someone else would have done so a little later. Johann Mendel dies unknown after having discovered the laws of heredity: thirty-five years later, three men rediscover them. But the book that is not written will never be written. The premature death of a great scientist delays humanity; that of a great writer deprives it.

• It was not noisy prejudice that caused the work of Mendel to lie dead for thirty years, but the sheer inability of contemporary opinion to distinguish between a new idea and nonsense.

• La variante biológica fundamental es el ADN. Por eso, la definición de Mendel del gen como portador invariable de los rasgos hereditarios, su identificación química por Avery (confirmada por Hershey) y la elucidación por Watson y Crick de la base estructural de su invariabilidad replicativa son, sin duda alguna, los descubrimientos más importantes jamás realizados en biología. A esto hay que añadir la teoría de la selección natural, cuya certeza y plena significación sólo fueron establecidas por esas teorías posteriores.

• The foundations of population genetics were laid chiefly by mathematical deduction from basic premises contained in the works of Mendel and Morgan and their followers. Haldane, Wright, and Fisher are the pioneers of population genetics whose main research equipment was paper and ink rather than microscopes, experimental fields, Drosophila bottles, or mouse cages. Theirs is theoretical biology at its best, and it has provided a guiding light for rigorous quantitative experimentation and observation.

• Incluso Johannes Kepler, Isaac Newton, Charles Darwin, Gregor Mendel y Albert Einstein cometieron graves errores. Pero la empresa científica organiza las cosas de modo que prevalezca el trabajo en equipo: Lo que uno de nosotros, incluso el más brillante, falla, otro de nosotros, incluso alguien mucho menos célebre y capaz, puede detectarlo y rectificarlo.

• There were lots of little boys having their bar mitzvahs all over the world, and they sent me tapes of some of them that they interviewed, probably six or seven little boys, and there was something about Mendel. I just loved his little face. I loved the energy of Mendel.

• Although no explanation can be expected to be satisfactory, it remains a possibility among others that Mendel was deceived by some assistant who knew too well what was expected. This possibility is supported by independent evidence that the data of most, if not all, of the experiments have been falsified so as to agree closely with Mendel's expectations.

• I thought that I had found something new. But then I convinced myself that the Abbot Gregor Mendel in Brünn, had, during the sixties, not only obtained the same result through extensive experiments with peas, which lasted for many years, as did de Vries and I, but had also given exactly the same explanation, as far as that was possible in 1866.

• originality" is everyone's aim, and novel techniques are as much prized as new scientific discoveries. [T.S.] Eliot states it with surprising naïveté: "It is exactly as wasteful for a poet to do what has been done already as for a biologist to rediscover Mendel's discoveries.

• We don't ask for opinions on our outfit all the time - but for a big of event, like the Emmys, absolutely. I actually sent my sister a picture of the [J Mendel] dress I wore to the Emmys before I chose it, and she was obsessed. She was like, "Oh, I want that." And I said, "Let me wear it first!"
