Why Is Tracy Sonneborn Influential?

(Suggest an Edit or Addition)

According to Wikipedia, Tracy Morton Sonneborn was an American biologist. His life's study was ciliated protozoa of the group Paramecium. Education Sonneborn attended the Baltimore City Public Schools and graduated from the Baltimore City College in 1922. As an adolescent, Sonneborn was interested in the humanities and considered becoming a rabbi. After taking a biology course taught by E. A. Andrews, his interest in literature was eclipsed by his interest in science. He earned a B.A. from Johns Hopkins University in 1925 and a Ph.D in 1928. His graduate work, supervised by Herbert S. Jennings, focused on the flatworm Stenostomum.
