Abstract
For science is more than the search for truth, more than a challenging game, more than a profession. It is a life that a diversity of people lead together, in the closest proximity, a school for social living. We are members one of another. A.G. Ogston, 1970 lecture to the Australian Biochemical Society In 1984, at the age of 73, Alexander (‘sandy’) Ogston, with the gentle encouragement of Professor R.B. (‘David’) Fisher, F.R.S.E., as an interviewer, recorded a videotape of his life and science (now in the Biochemistry Society Archives). A few years later in 1988 he completed a more comprehensive written account in his ‘Reminiscences, 1911–1988’ (now in the Royal Society Archives). These eloquent records and a published lecture given in 1970 to the Australian Biochemical Society (17)* have provided much of the material for this memoir and are quoted or paraphrased extensively. Unannotated ‘quote's’ are from Sandy's own accounts or his papers.
