At least the ACM believes he does.

- Rochus 1y agoThanks for the hint. That must then have been one of the earliest undergraduate courses in molecular biology in the USA (most universities did not have dedicated undergraduate majors or courses in "molecular biology" in the sixties), and it's a pretty strange combination with mathematics. Early molecular biology education was typically embedded within biochemistry, genetics, or general biology programs.
- cxr 1y agoIt's interesting that Wikipedia lists studies and a degree in molecular biology, started first at Bethany College prior to his draft in the Air Force and finished in Boulder from University of Colorado, whereas the Vita section of his HTML-ified thesis lists simply "biology" at Bethany College and lists anthropology when he returned to school in Boulder. It shows a BS in only math. <https://www.chilton-computing.org.uk/inf/pdfs/kay.htm https://www.chilton-computing.org.uk/inf/pdfs/kay.htm>
- Rochus 1y agoGood reference, thanks; still more things that just don't add up.
