A fun oopsie from the paper of record:
Leslie E. Orgel, a biochemist whose studies of early life on primitive Earth helped lead to the formation of a now widely accepted theory about the development of DNA, died Oct. 27 in San Diego. He was 80.
Dr. Orgel had also advanced a novel idea about life’s possible arrival from outer space.
The cause was pancreatic cancer, said a spokesman for the Salk Institute for Biological Studies in San Diego, where Dr. Orgel had been on the faculty since 1964.
Wait, what was that again?
Dr. Orgel had also advanced a novel idea about life’s possible arrival from outer space.
The cause was pancreatic cancer…
Yup, that’s a novel idea, all right.
