Cavendish Laboratory worked with Crick at Cambridge in the Cavendish Laboratory and the new Laboratory of Molecular Biology. According to the late Dr. Beryl Oughton, later Rimmer, they all travelled together in two cars once Dorothy Hodgkin announced to them that they were off to Cambridge to see the model of the structure of DNA. Orgel also later worked with Crick at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies. The Cavendish Professors were the heads of the department until the tenure of Sir Brian Pippard, during which period the roles separated. † "Jacksonian Professors of Natural Philosophy" Areas in which the Laboratory has
SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, originally named Stanford Linear Accelerator Center, is a United States Department of Energy National Laboratory operated by Stanford University under the programmatic direction of the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science and located in Menlo Park, California. SLAC research centers on a broad program in atomic and solid-state physics, chemistry, biology, and medicine using X-rays from synchrotron radiation and a free-electron laser as well as experimental and theoretical research in elementary particle physics, astroparticle physics, and cosmology. Founded in 1962 as the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center, the facility is located on
