Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful reuniting of brilliant scientists that started us down the river of knowledge! Last graduate student of Linus Pauling? Feynman playing his drums at their house??? Such a wonderful window into the past!
Thank you for sharing that. It is absolutely wonderful. What a great era they were involved in with all those amazing minds just going ahead and doing such ground-breaking work.
Thank you for sharing this heart warming and informative film. Two men truly dedicated to a mission - a challenge for a lifetime. One could feel the love and respect they felt for each other.
"One of the privileges of making documentary films is you can capture people and moments that would otherwise be lost forever."
Elliot, I would go one step further—documentary films teach us about people and events we never learned about in our history books at school.
Just look at how successful Ken Burns’s The Civil War was when it first aired on PBS in 1990, and how many people watched it. In fact, it was the Sullivan Ballou segment that captured viewers' attention and spread the word that this series was a must-see.
Elliot, I think you have now entered the ranks of documentary filmmakers and stand alongside the man who started it all—Ken Burns.
The documentary that you and Heather created about Robert Reich, The Last Class, belongs right next to Burns’s The Civil War.
Elliot, thank you for all your work in telling these important stories.
I’ve been thinking a lot about the work being done by folks like these two. I worked at Harvard Medical School in the Department of Neurobiology for 13 years for scientists who loved their work. Just like National Parks employees love their work. And all of these people and others would continue to do their work because they love it. Their love of the work is what drives them. But they still have to pay the rent. As the Harvard staff Union used to stay “you can’t eat prestige”.
As a scientist who grew up in the field, there are not enough words to express appreciation for the work of these incredible visionaries.
I took one course on Genetics decades ago, and loved it. How does RNA fit into the replication depending on light or heavy nitrogen?
The film harkens back to a time of collaboration and blue sky science. Lovely,

This is so lovely. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for sharing this film with the world, and for honoring these two giants of science.
