Why Is Selig Hecht Influential?

(Suggest an Edit or Addition)

According to Wikipedia, Selig Hecht was an American physiologist who studied photochemistry in photoreceptor cells. Life Hecht was born in Glogau, then in the German Empire , the son of Mandel Hecht and Mary Mresse. The family migrated to the USA in 1898, settling in New York City. His studies and talents led to Columbia University making him professor of biophysics in 1928.
