A mechanical engineer and emeritus professor whose research concerns boundary layer separation and fluid mechanics.^[ref]

A materials scientist who studied semiconductor growth at Santa Barbara.^[ref]

A materials scientist researching the mechanical behaviour of brittle materials.^[ref]

A historian of physics.^[ref]

Geneticist studying bacterial genome maintenance. Patricia Rosa coauthored research comparing maintenance functions of linear and circular plasmids in Borrelia burgdorferi, connecting unusual genome architecture with inheritance of extrachromosomal DNA.^[ref]

Researcher in molecular cloning. Cohen’s account of the field’s early development describes the experiments that made recombinant plasmids useful for propagating and studying selected DNA sequences.^[ref]

Geneticist who, with Esther Lederberg, developed replica plating to investigate bacterial mutants. Preserving the spatial pattern of colonies allowed selection to reveal variants that already existed before exposure.^[ref]

A medical entomologist who developed methods for control of mosquitoes and eye gnats. His work connected insect population management with reduction of vector-associated health problems, combining field investigations with applied disease-prevention research.^[ref]

An ecologist who investigated ecological field-experiment design and pseudoreplication, clarifying why repeated measurements within one treatment unit do not create independent treatment replicates.^[ref]

A civil engineer who researches the mechanical properties of soils.^[ref]

A chemical engineer who has worked on separation processes. He is credited as publisher of the Hyper-TVT teaching site; that role does not establish authorship of its individual chapters.

Researcher in protein targeting and membrane biogenesis. With Sichen Shao, Hegde analyzed insertion of membrane proteins at the endoplasmic reticulum, connecting protein properties with the machinery that handles them.^[ref]

Cell biologist studying insertion of membrane proteins at the endoplasmic reticulum. Shao and Ramanujan S. Hegde analyzed how cellular machinery delivers and inserts hydrophobic proteins into a membrane.^[ref]

Cell biologist who, with Günter Blobel, used controlled digestion of nascent polypeptides to investigate their location in cellular fractions. Protection from digestion connected membrane enclosure with the path of protein synthesis.^[ref]

Cell biologist studying protein targeting across membranes. With Bernhard Dobberstein, Blobel reconstructed aspects of cotranslational protein translocation, connecting information in a growing polypeptide with delivery to the secretory pathway.^[ref]

Researcher in intracellular protein targeting. Laskey coauthored experiments identifying a nucleoplasmin region that directs nuclear import, connecting a part of a protein with transport through the nuclear pore complex.^[ref]

Researcher in cytokinesis. Rappaport manipulated sand-dollar eggs to investigate the cleavage stimulus, using altered cellular geometry to test how division machinery determines the position of a furrow.^[ref]

Researcher in membrane biology. With Larry Frye, Edidin studied rapid intermixing of surface antigens in fused cells, connecting the redistribution of labeled components with lateral mobility in the cell membrane.^[ref]

Researcher in membrane biology. With Michael Edidin, Frye followed intermixing of mouse and human surface antigens after cell fusion, providing experimental evidence that membrane components can move laterally.^[ref]
