“…His research efforts were focused primarily in photosynthesis, but he also published a paper with his wife, Hope (one of the authors of this Tribute), in Nature, on a leukocyte growth factor isolated from red beans (Punnett and Punnett 1963;Punnett et al 1962). Later, Punnett et al (1980) did an analysis of hydrozoan sperm attractant.…”

We honor here Thomas (Tom) Roosevelt Punnett, Jr. (May 25, 1926-July 4, 2008, who was a pioneer of Biology, particularly of biochemistry of plants and algae, having specialized in photosynthesis under Robert Emerson of the University of Illinois at UrbanaChampaign. He did exciting work on regulation and control of various metabolic reactions. He was an innovator and raconteur par excellence, and he prized critical thinking. His enthusiasm for basic science questions was matched by his grasp of their ''real-world'' implications. His last project was a patent for anaerobic sewage treatment that he hoped would lead to solution of waste disposal and energy creation world wide, including the clean-up of Lake Erie, where he had sailed as a boy. On the personal side, he had a strong sense of morality and a great wit and humor.

“…In low concentration PHA agglutinates only the erythrocytes (26); in high concentration it agglutinates leukocytes also (46)(47)(48)(49). Other preparations with blastogenic activity have been obtained from P. vulgaris (41,(50)(51)(52)(53)(54)(55). In some of these preparations there was blastogenic activity but no erythrocyte-agglutinating activity (41, 52).…”

In view of the important contributions being made to the development of astronomy by observers with U.S. optical telescopes, to provide less than is recommended here would, in the opinion of the panel, mean a loss of momentum, and would constitute a retrenchment.There is no single index in radio in optical astronomy, as interest in theoretical astrophysics, radio astronomy, and space astronomy grows, the proposed program is still based upon a straightforward projection.
