title: Viktor Hamburger. A lifelong fascination with the chick embryo.
abstract: Since the early days of developmental biology, Viktor Hamburger has inspired fellow scientists. Working with the simplest of tools--small glass needles, a basic microscope, a camera--he has asked, and helped to answer, some of biology's biggest questions. And at age 100, he isn't done yet.
