(Suggest an Edit or Addition)

According to Wikipedia, John Whittemore Gowen was an American biologist and geneticist. Biography Gowen was born in Evinston, Florida, on September 5, 1893, to Charles Hayes and Gertrude Whittemore Gowen. He received his B.S. and M.S. degrees from the University of Maine in 1914 and 1915, respectively. His advisor for his master's degree was Raymond Pearl. In 1917, he received his Ph.D. from Columbia University, where his advisors were Edmund Beecher Wilson and Thomas Hunt Morgan. Gowen then worked as a biologist at the Maine Agricultural Experimental Station until 1926, when he joined the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research as a research associate.
