For my part, I have worked all my life with eggs and embryos of frogs. Compared to other small animals, these have figured prominently in the world of literature.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I raised frogs every spring in our house from tadpoles and by end of summer our house was overrun with frogs.
In principle. what is done is to take the nucleus out of a cell with a very fine micro-pipette or needle and introduce it into an egg. That had been done with amphibians a long time ago, and then there was a long pause of many years before people were clever enough to make that work in the sheep.
I am a fosterer of animals.
Everything that I've done in my life was to lead me to my work with the animals.
My animals are a really important part of my life.
Within six months of starting my Ph.D. work in 1956, I had already obtained feeding tadpoles derived from transplanted nuclei of embryonic cells.
Animals are near and dear to my heart, and I've devoted my life to trying to improve their lives.
I love eggs. Eggs are probably one of the most versatile things we work with.
Ever since I was a little girl, I have always loved animals and been fascinated with them.
I left my frogs, which I had grown, with my supervisor, who had moved to Geneva, and he and a technician grew them up. So by 1962, they were adults, and one could publish a paper to say that these animals, derived from nuclear transfer, really were absolutely normal. So it took a little time to get through.
