Symposium marks 30th anniversary of discovery of third domain of life

pool of data. To this day, many textbooks, dictionaries and other science reference materials include the classical and the Woese classification schemes.

Now 79, Woese continues his work as a member of the Biocomplexity theme at the Institute for Genomic Biology. He works with collaborators in physics, chemistry, geology and microbiology in a continuing exploration of the genomic complexity of biological systems. He worries about what he sees as a general lack of interest in evolution among microbiologists and other life scientists. And he hopes that a new generation of scientists will make full use of the genomic tools that he believes could revolutionize the study of the origins and evolution of life.
