From Victor Snieckus, University of Waterloo

While the review (11 May, p 42) by David Bradley of Making PCR
concisely indicated what to expect from reading about this fascinating
biological discovery, both your journal and several others have failed to
indicate that the very visible Kary Mullis shared the Nobel prize with Michael
Smith of the University of British Columbia—who, incidentally, donated
half of his part of the prize for the establishment of scholarships and awards
to promising young scientists.
