brody said he was in Tatum's lab when he defined one gene one protein, and he was telling us how cool Tatum was blah blah blah. he said he uses his Nobel medal as a paper weight on his coffee table at home. yeah. quite cool. brody has this thing for labelling important genetic theories "Genetic Principle #**" so when he told Tatum that he considered "one gene one protein“ the ”GP #5 " Tatum replied"hmm, i think i enjoy my Nobel a lot more." and when he told Yanofsky he considered his principle of colinearity "GP #6" Yanofsky said "how much is that??!" haha.

i guess one of the good things bout taking classes from big shots is that you get to hear loads of anecdotes about other big shots. which can be very interesting.
