Abstract

The history boys Sydney Brenner and Richard Roberts have a request. If you played a part in the development of molecular biology or biotechnology in the past 50 years, throw nothing away. At least, not before considering what you have to offer to a history of science archive. And, of course, do print anything saved on electronic media on something less ephemeral, like paper.
