Abstract
DR. CONRAD HAL WADDINGTON, formerly of the Department of Zoology, University of Cambridge, has been appointed to the chair of animal genetics in the University of Edinburgh as from January 1, 1947. This chair has been vacant since the end of 1944 when Prof. F. A. E. Crew, its former and first occupant, was transferred to the chair of public health and social medicine. Simultaneously with this announcement comes the intimation that a headquarters of the National Animal Breeding Research Organisation, a creation of the Agricultural Research Council, is being set up in Edinburgh, and that the Genetics Laboratory of this Organisation, which has been occupying temporary accommodation at Hendon, will be transferred to Edinburgh and accommodated in the Institute of Animal Genetics, where it will work alongside the University staff. Prof. Waddington will retain his position as chief geneticist in this Organisation.
