Hans Spemann
This photo from the MBL archives shows Hans Spemann at the MBL in 1931. Spemann was a visiting researcher at the MBL in 1931 and 1936. Given that Ethel Browne Harvey spent summers at the MBL beginning in 1909 and continuing for nearly 50 years, it is not unlikely that she and Spemann met while he was at the MBL. If so, did they dine together at the Mess? Did they discuss the organizer? One wonders whether there was information about this in Browne Harvey’s papers that were lost when her house in Woods Hole burned.
