Trinkaus-Trinkaus Connection?
We received this inquiry from investigator Paul A. Kucklein:
The March issue of mini-AIR features this citation:
FUNDULUS FACTS
“Ingression During Early Gastrulation of Fundulus,” J.P. Trinkaus,
Developmental Biology, vol. 177, no. 1, July 10, 1996, pp. 356-70.The congruence of names between this researcher and the justly famous Ig Nobel Prize-winning researcher, John W. Trinkaus, raises the question of a possible familial relationship.
Is it to be expected that J.P Trinkaus will become as dedicated an observer and prolific an author as his namesake? May we expect longitudinal studies of the ingression and egression of funduli?
We would be interested to hear from anyone who can knowledgably answer investigator Kucklein’s question.
