One of the titans of medical research has died, and we should pay tribute. Dr. Victor McKusick of Johns Hopkins University was the first to apply the developing field of genetics to medicine, and the result revolutionized health care and medical research for the betterment of everyone. But enough of me yakkin; read this wonderful obituary in today's Los Angeles Times, and this one in the New York Times. Question: Why didn't this man win a Nobel Prize? Geez.
