Lederberg won the Nobel Prize in Medicine at age 33 for scientific work started at age 20, which showed that bacteria can, in fact, reproduce through sexual recombination. He became interested in computers in the late 1940s and collaborated with Stanford University computer scientists in the mid-1960s. He was also involved with artificial intelligence and was very interested in the dissemination of scientific knowledge via electronic networks. The scientist continued to receive accolades throughout this scientific career, and in 1990 he was awarded the National Medal of Science by President Bush. Lederberg s online papers include laboratory notebooks, manuscripts, personal correspondence with other scientists, diary entries, newspaper clippings, video interviews, and several photographs.
