2003 email from Carl Woese to Mitch Sogin after winning Crafoord Prize

I had posted an email here from Carl Woese to Mitch Sogin (with Mitch’s permission).  However, in retrospect I feel uncomfortable posting private emails of Carl Woese’s here as he is not around to give permission.  So I have removed them.  Apologies to all who may have felt uncomfortable about the posting and to those who wish it would remain public.  But I just do not feel comfortable with this anymore.

I am an evolutionary biologist and a Professor at U. C. Davis. (see my lab site here). My research focuses on the origin of novelty (how new processes and functions originate). To study this I focus on sequencing and analyzing genomes of organisms, especially microbes and using phylogenomic analysis View all posts by Jonathan Eisen
