Why Is Larry Sandler Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Laurence Marvin Sandler was a "leading Drosophila geneticist", active during the mid-20th century. Sandler is best known for his work establishing and elucidating the phenomenon of meiotic drive. Sandler earned a B.S. at Cornell University and did his doctoral work with Ed Novitski at the University of Missouri, where he collaborated with Gerry Braver. Braver and Sandler discovered that meiotic chromosomal loss was one driver of allelic variation in natural populations, a phenomenon coined "meiotic drive" in a follow-up paper by Sandler and Novitski. Sandler also collaborated with Iris Sandler, his wife and fellow scientist, who also worked as a graduate student in Novitski's lab.
