In 1923, Conrad Hal Waddington was in his final year at Clifton College, Bristol, UK, being taught chemistry by Dr. Eric John Holmyard. During this year, Waddington and Holmyard both wrote about alchemy, the former in an extended school essay and the latter in the journal Nature. Almost twenty years later, Holmyard and Waddington were instrumental in the formation of the journal Endeavour in 1942. Using recently discovered primary source materials and unpublished manuscripts, the influence of Holmyard and alchemy on the early development of Waddington's thinking is explored, including his subsequent attraction to Alfred North Whitehead's process philosophy and the impact on his epigenetic research.

Waddington、Holmyard 和 Alchemy:对表观遗传景观的看法

1923 年,康拉德·哈尔·沃丁顿 (Conrad Hal Waddington) 在英国布里斯托尔克利夫顿学院 (Clifton College) 的最后一年,由埃里克·约翰·霍米德 (Eric John Holmyard) 博士教授化学。这一年,Waddington 和 Holmyard 都写了关于炼金术的文章,前者在一篇扩展的学校论文中,后者在《自然》杂志上。将近 20 年后,Holmyard 和 Waddington 在 1942 年成立 Endeavor 杂志的过程中发挥了重要作用。 利用最近发现的主要来源材料和未发表的手稿,探讨了 Holmyard 和炼金术对 Waddington 思想早期发展的影响,包括他随后的吸引力阿尔弗雷德·诺斯·怀特黑德 (Alfred North Whitehead) 的过程哲学及其对他的表观遗传研究的影响。
