from Part V - Commentaries on Lovelock and Margulis
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 28 July 2022
Lynn Margulis’s scientific relationship and friendship with Jim Lovelock began and increased in the way that most of her close relationships did, especially those involving some sort of edgy, unconventional science. Knowing Lynn, I suspect it was love at first sight with Jim’s ideas about Gaia. Although I was not there at the beginning of the 1970s, I did witness similar first encounters during my graduate school years in Lynn’s lab from 1977 to 1984. I attended lab meetings and research talks in her lab as soon as I took her Symbiosis course in the fall of 1977. Encouraged by her to switch my focus to termite research – it turns out their hindguts are entire symbiotic worlds in themselves – I began PhD work with Lynn in January 1979.
