Galactosemia Scientific Correspondence
with Melvin Laurance ("Larry") Morse
1954-1985

Morse Collage

Esther M. Zimmer Lederberg and M. Laurance ("Larry") Morse collaborated on many experiments, which resulted in several research papers. For the lineage of some of the strains found by Esther Lederberg and Larry Morse independently of Joshua Lederberg, click Bachmann > W22 Wisconsin gal8 lineage p3.19 at:

There are several pieces of correspondence between Larry Morse and Joshua Lederberg, most of which appear to take place earlier than the correspondence displayed here. Almost all of the correspondence displayed here is between Esther M. Lederberg and Larry Morse, and is not to be found on the NLM "Profiles in Science" website for Joshua Lederberg. Joshua Lederberg attempts to downplay Esther M. Lederberg's importance as a researcher by suppressing publications, correspondence, etc. and attempts to take credit or to misinform any audience interested in the research that took place. The correspondence here demonstrates beyond a doubt that Joshua Lederberg played a very minor part in the research Larry Morse did mostly in collaboration with Esther M. Lederberg.
