Caption

Rob Martienssen with his mentor, Nobel laureate Barbara McClintock, in the greenhouse, ca. 1990. Martienssen worked with McClintock for about two years after arriving at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory in the late 1980s and later had the thrill of confirming and extending some of her most important theories about transposable elements, including their role in evolution.
