Just before I had started my residency, I had just audited an upper division course taught by Professor Daniel Mazia at UC Berkeley called “Physical Chemical Basis of Biology.” That was just 9 years after the critical publication of Watson and Crick and 2 years after Jacob and Monod’s publication on DNA coding of proteins.
