Perhaps most important, Chemical Risk provided the basis for a call for scientific collective action and increased public awareness. Future Nobel laureate Joshua Lederberg (1969) noted in one of his regular Science and Man columns that we [biologists] all have a basic responsibility to go beyond an emotional expression of concern to use it to energize the search for authentic scientific measures of potential hazards and for means to neutralize them. We have a great deal of taxing work ahead in trying to set up scientifically valid and politically useful criteria from laboratory studies for these elusive but all-important hazards. ...

Not too many years ago, Joshua Lederberg (1969) wrote in the same Science and Man column cited above, I was able to compartmentalize my own thinking to such a degree that I did not immediately grasp the relationship between an abstraction, like the statistics of lethal mutations in fruit flies, and the human impact of malformation in the new-born, ...

Advice to naval leadership on the chemical warfare (CW) and biological warfare (BW) threat can be traced to the Cold War period. As the Navy undertook a major force buildup in the early 1980s, a memorandum from committee member Joshua Lederberg to the CNO, Admiral James Watkins, USN, was instrumental in precipitating the decision to equip some new vessels with collective protection capabilities and improved chemical weapons detectors.1...

This was the starting point for the DENDRAL project, initiated in 1965 by Edward Feigenbaum, Nobel Prize winner Joshua Lederberg, and Bruce Buchanan, in cooperation with chemist Carl Djerassi. The basic approach was to design software that mimics the concept of human reasoning and allows the formalization of scientific knowledge. 

How does penicillin inhibit bacterial growth In 1957, Joshua Lederberg showed that bacteria ordinarily susceptible to penicillin could be grown in its presence if a hypertonic medium were used. The organisms obtained in this way, called protoplasts, are devoid of a cell wall and consequently lyse when transferred to a normal medium. Hence, penicillin was inferred to interfere with the synthesis of the bacterial cell wall. The cell-wall macromolecule, caWeda peptidoglycan, consists of linear polysaccharide chains that...
