On the 70th Birthday of Lev V. Beloussov

摘要

Lev V. Beloussov will turn 70 in July 2005. But we, embryologists, know how formal direct chronology is and what deviations from biological age are possible. As in previous years, Beloussov is walking lightly and rapidly: he has a flying pace. In hisexperiments, the movements of his hands—the hands of a musician and microsurgeon—are also sure and elegant. In conversation, he is as attentive as before, finely ironic, and deep. On the whole, he is the same Lev Vladimirovich or, for friends, Leva, Levushka, whose natural many-sided talent has already been realized in the significance of what has been done and is multiplied by the perspective of what is to be done.
