Ancel Keys. Gave the pseudo intellectual basis for the McGovern Commission on dietary policy.

The sulfur cycle understanding was not really complete until Domini and Stipanuk in 2011. Mostly behind a paywall where it was lost until a few years ago. Cysteamine Dioxgenase filled in the missing pieces to understand PKAN and disruption of the CoA pathway. A forest and trees situation. Everyone looked at it as a pathway. Kind of an intellectual cul-de-sac when it turned out to be a cycle.

40 million euros wasted on research. I'm sure you understand credentialed eminence. They found nothing in the end and drove out the best scientist to Cambridge when it was finished.

Our Immunology course was even worse than Lehninger (actually Lehninger was about 400 pages in the first edition, which I still have. Our “White Cell Manual” literally was a Pamphlet. Literally. 60 pages with cardboard cover. LOL. All the early experiments on immunology. It was a lecture during Microbiology. I would imagine Immunology is it’s own course now.
