The Anatomy of a Scientific Discovery: Telomeres and Telomerase - Past, Present, and Future

Telomeres were first recognized in the late 1930s as important structures on chromosome ends. In the 1970s the sequence of these structures was identified in the ciliated protozoa Tetrahymena by Elizabeth Blackburn. In the 1980s telomerase was discovered as an enzyme that elongates telomeres and compensates for natural telomere shortening. Carol Greider, Director of Molecular Biology and Genetics, Johns Hopkins University, discusses the journey from these curiosity driven discoveries to the appreciation of the role of telomeres in human disease.

let's say instructors are allowed to steal their students research and not mention them on their Nobel prizes we all know who made this discovery and it's crime you weren't politely and graciously included.
