Biographical History
Physician, educator.
Dr. Thomas served as professor of pathology (1954-1969) at New York University and dean (1971-1973) of Yale's School of Medicine--among other posts--before becoming president of the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in 1973. He is probably best known to the public from his column in THE NEW ENGLAND JOURNAL OF MEDICINE, "Notes of a Biology Watcher," which appeared from 1971 to 1980, and from the resulting book-length compilations of these essays, THE LIVES OF A CELL (1974) and THE MEDUSA AND THE SNAIL (1979), which earned him several national literary awards and the recognition as one of the best modern scientific essayists writing non-technically about the meaning of biology and, by extension, the meaning of life.
