Nine Original Handwritten or Typed Cards from Various Scientists and WorldWide Establishment to Francis Crick at Medical Research Council Laboratory of Molecular Biology,Cambridge requesting Reprints of His Articles mainly on the Genetic Code and The Wobble Hypothesis. Scientists include Dr Deshmukh, William Woodward, H Staiber, Kristian F Jervell, Richard Lyman, Ron Airton, Dr G Roelants, and Thomas Sneider. The Medical Research Council Laboratory of Molecular Biology requests for reprint articles to Francis Crick. These were sent during the mid-60s (principally 1966), most pro forma postcards with appropriate stamps and postmarks, from various countries. An intriguing glimpse at the nature of scientific collaboration through its knowledge sharing network, against an implicit background of international paranoia at the height of the Cold War. Despite the secretive nature of their respective governments, information sharing (mostly from the West to the East) still took place, allowing the critical cross-pollination of ideas between scientists and labs in the same and related fields. This information sharing was often a source of concern for Western politicians, secret police and military leaders, given the hostile nature of foreign relations across the Curtain, but its continued existence was a point of pride to the scientific community at large. The existence of the war can be seen in small details, such as the requests from Germany. Francis Harry Compton Crick 1916-2004 was an English molecular biologist, biophysicist, and neuroscientist. He, James Watson, and Rosalind Franklin played crucial roles in deciphering the helical structure of the DNA molecule. Crick and Watson's paper in Nature in 1953 laid the groundwork for understanding DNA structure and functions. Together with Maurice Wilkins, they were jointly awarded the 1962 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine "for their discoveries concerning the molecular structure of nucleic acids and its significance for information transfer in living material".
