Biographical / Historical
Beale's personal and professional relationship with Tracy Sonneborn began with their first meeting in 1947 at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, where Beale was working at the time. Sonneborn invited Beale to join his research group in Indiana University Bloomington, which led to Beale's lifelong interest in Paramecium. Beale remained in contact with Sonneborn for the rest of his life, and authored a biographical memoir of Sonneborn for the Royal Society, published in 1982.
