Celebrating Dick Lewontin

Via Dan MacArthur in Vermont: "The local Marlboro fair set up a self-portrait booth about 15 years ago, and guess who sat in the booth and pushed the button!"

Welcome to the website for the online event celebrating Dick Lewontin on what would have been his 93rd birthday, 29 Mar 2022.

The hope is that lots of people will continue, after 29 Mar, to contribute. Stories, photos, reminiscences. Just email andrew.berry@gmail.com with "Celebrating Dick Lewontin" as the email subject.

To navigate the site, go to the 'Home' down arrow at top right, and choose your destination page.

We have tried to assemble as comprehensive a list of Lewontin associates as possible but we've surely missed many, many people. The current list is here. Please contact us to add names/email addresses.
