While they were in Argentina, physicist Beatriz Iparraguirre, a prominent research hematologist, was kidnapped by armed men who identified themselves as police officers during the middle of the night. Anfinsen’s group and others lodged protests and urged inquiries. She was released on the streets of Buenos Aires a week later. Anfinsen wrote that this event caused him to take up smoking again. Iparraguirre went on to become the president of the Argentina Society of Hematology.
