Description: Fighting against decline: G M Thomson and his son Allan Thomson (New Zealand's first Rhodes Scholar) were between them so influential in New Zealand science in the early years of the 20th century that historians of science call this the 'Thomson period'. But both their lives were blighted by the scourge of the time - tuberculosis. Biographer Ross Galbreath talks about their science and their private tragedies. (Scholars & gentlemen both : G M & Allan Thomson in New Zealand science & education (Wellington, N.Z. : Royal Society of New Zealand, 2002)) Allan Wilson - more earnest than Rutherford: writer Rowan Taylor talks about the path-breaking work of New Zealander Allan Wilson, whose research on the evolution of molecules has transformed the study of evolution and our knowledge of human origins.
