Letter from Francis Crick to Harold Himsworth, Medical Research Council of Great Britain
Description:
In this letter to the Chairman of the Medical Research Council Crick related his plans for a postdoctoral year (1953-54) at David Harker's protein structure laboratory at Brooklyn Polytechnic Institute, and applied for a permanent position as a scientific staff member of the MRC unit at the Cavendish Laboratory, a position that "would allow me to devote all my effort to research, at a time when my thoughts and energies are flowing strongly in this channel." Crick explained that he worked on molecular structure "because I believe it to be the key to the really fundamental biological problems."
