Why Is Francis J. Ryan Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Francis Joseph Ryan was an American zoologist. He was professor and chair of Columbia University's department of zoology. Biography Ryan was born on February 1, 1916, in Brooklyn, New York. He received his B.A. from Columbia University in 1937 and his Ph.D. in 1941. He then joined the faculty and eventually became assistant professor, associate professor, full professor and department head. He was a mentor of future Nobel Prize winner Joshua Lederberg, who credited Ryan for "taking a callow underclassman from Washington Heights, brash and argumentative as precocious students often are, and turned [him] into a scientist."
