Where does this unique culture come from?

To Jim Watson, it is simple:

We wanted a culture of equality. Informality gave us all the chance to do our best, and to dream that later we might find out the ultimate of answers.

Says veteran CSHL Board Member Ed Travaglianti:

Here at the Lab, brilliant people have had a chance to do their work in an unfettered way. The administration is willing to take risks, to support new ideas.

This is how great science gets done.
