These happy scientists had just attended the first Homogeneous Immunoglobulin Workshop, which took place on the NIH campus in 1969. Filled with passionate debate, this exciting meeting had been arranged by Potter (above, third from the left) and Martin Weigert from the Institute for Cancer Research, Philadelphia, to discuss the newest results and ideas in immunoglobulin research. The annual workshops continued until 1979.
