This image appears at the Stanford University memorial to Esther M. Zimmer Lederberg and others at Clark Walk, in front of the Sherman Fairchild building. (To see the memorial, click here.) A copy of this image was also donated to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, for display at the lobby of the Eli and Edythe L. Broad Institute. A permanent exhibit at Broad Institute, the "DNAtrium", showcases key discoveries in genetics and genomics over the eighteenth through twenty-first centuries. Esther Lederberg is included in that exhibit due to her discovery of lambda phage.
