Michael Smith

From Philosopedia

Smith, Michael (26 April 1932 - 4 October 2000)

A Nobel Prize winner in Chemistry in 1993, Smith had achievements that included research in nucleic acid and nucletide chemistry and biochemistry using in-vitro mutagenesis gene expression.

English-born, he lived in Vancouver. In an autobiographical sketch, Smith said, “My only prizes from the Sunday School were ‘for attendance,’ so I presume my atheism, which developed when I left home to attend university, although latent, was discernible.”
