Letter from Paul Berg to Robert L. Sinsheimer
- Title:
- Letter from Paul Berg to Robert L. Sinsheimer
- Description:
- This critical commentary by Paul Berg highlights the conflicting and sometimes contradictory attitudes towards the new technology of genetic engineering among many scientists in the 1970s. In this letter, Berg criticizes Sinsheimer, who visibly campaigned against recombinant DNA research as too dangerous, but also sought funds for a containment lab for that very research at his own institution (the California Institute of Technology).
