Here I present: Lynn Sagan, “On the Origin of Mitosing Cells”, 1967. PART TWO (II).
INTRODUCTION.
On the University of Chicago campus in the early 1950s, Carl Sagan was a 19-year-old graduate student in astronomy; Lynn Sagan, a 15-year-old prodigy starting her freshman year as a undergraduate. The two would marry, and become the “Image-of-Science” for their generation.

COMMENTS.
Lynn Sagan publication of “On the Origin of Mitosing Cells” was half of the couple’s influence. Lynn Sagan used the “microscope”; but Carl Sagan used the “telescope” for influencing a generation.
Carl Sagan was a planetary scientist involved in all early NASA programs: Gemini, Mercury, Apollo … etcetera. Both Lynn & Carl Sagan changed our generation’s view the Earth in the Solar System. The “Contact” 1997 film staring Jodie Foster was a film-adaptation of a 1985 SciFi novel by Carl Sagan of the same title.
