He co-authored the book Mr. Tompkins: Inside Himself with physicist George Gamow.[1] He was a founding member of the RNA Tie Club, a discussion society of scientists who attempted to solve the question of the genetic code[2] and with Gamow and others published early statistical analyses of proteins and DNA which disproved some early models of the genetic code.[3]
