What Is Life? published in 1944. At that time DNA was not yet accepted as the carrier of hereditary information, which only was the case after the Hershey–Chase experiment of 1952. One of the most successful branches of physics at this time was statistical physics, and quantum mechanics, a theory which is also very statistical in its nature. Schrödinger himself is one of the founding fathers of quantum mechanics. Max Delbrück's thinking about the physical basis of life was an important influence on Schrödinger. However, long before the publication of "What is Life?", geneticist and 1946 Nobel-prize winner H. J. Muller had in
College of Engineering and Physical Sciences (University of Guelph) Guelph offers a wide variety of support to engineering students via counseling, cluster living in residence, and peer helpers. Guelph's engineering programs focus on applying theory in practice, and thus, by the end of their undergraduate degree students will have completed at least six engineering design projects. Guelph emphasizes that enrollment in any of the seven engineering programs allows students to become very familiar with their peers and teachers due to the amount of interaction between them. The School of Engineering is also the home of the Guelph Engineering Society, the largest student organization operated under the College of Physical
