Jim Dahlberg on Visits to Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory: CSH Symposia
  Jim Dahlberg     Biography    
Recorded: 04 Jun 2001

Just after coming back I was invited to come to the symposium. That was my first symposium, and the first time I’d been to Cold Spring Harbor, actually. And I got up and I talked about how we done, determined the sequences of the beginning of Q-Beta RNA. I remember it was a pretty heady experience to be quite honest, cause just coming out of my post doc and there was a lot of anticipation for this talk because nobody had ever sequenced a messenger RNA before. ‘69, yeah. And it was a lot of fun. And then I came back again in ’70 and, was it ’74? Changing, I changed subjects then because I had set up my own lab and I was doing my own things.
