Abstract
MUCH indeed has happened since Prof. J. R. Marrack in 1937 contributed his stimulating essay on the “Social Implications of Biochemistry” to the volume of essays “Perspectives in Biochemistry” which was presented to Sir Frederick Gowland Hopkins by past and present members of his laboratory on his seventy-fifth birthday. It is now widely realized that not only, as Prof. Marrack pointed out, does the future trend of biochemical investigation into problems of nutrition depend largely on what form society takes, but also the whole trend of scientific work or even thought. The impact of society on science is as unmistakable as that of science on society.
