Summary:

David Epstein’s “The Temin Effect” article, talks about the interview with the biologist Howard Temin conducted by one of the M.G. many years ago. In this article, he talks about Howard Temin’s work on the discovery of “reverse transcriptase-the class of enzymes of capable of creating DNA from a RNA template” which won him a Nobel Prize and made him an unforgettable figure. David then talks about Howard’s high school days in which his valedictory address was about the hydrogen bomb and how his bar mitzvah money was donated to a refugee camp as he was raised by activist parents in Philadelphia. Further in this article, David also talks about his interview in which he spent as much time, brilliantly, in the larger world of ideas as he did talking about his own work in molecular biology.
