Abstract: In his nearly three decades of leadership in the natural sciences at The Rockefeller Foundation, Warren Weaver contributed substantially to the mid-twentieth century revolution in biology and agricultural science. A veritable polymath, over a lifetime, Weaver also contributed significantly to mathematics, statistics, physics, and computer science and to various scientific associations (1). In the early 1930s, he persuaded Alexander Hollaender, a highly regarded radiobiologist, to survey the literature and write a report for The Rockefeller Foundation on the biological effects of radiation.
