  John Desmond Bernal
Bernal was the originator of the study of viruses by X-ray crystallography.
Bernal had anticipated that in the geometry and physical structure of such molecules must lie some of the explanations of the origin of life and the way the living process works.
According to Bernal, the cause of science was inextricably intertwined with the cause of socialism.

 John Desmond Bernal
John Desmond Bernal was a prominent international scientist, born in Nenagh, Co Tipperary, Ireland.
Bernal did realise that such anti-scientific philosophies did not spring up out of sheer perversity or willfulness on the part of their exponents, but were symptomatic of a widespread and pervasive confusion.
Bernal himself was firmly committed to the science of genetics and was conducting experiments aimed at discerning the molecular structure of the gene.

 John Desmond Bernal
John Desmond Bernal was born in Nenagh, Co. Tipperary in 1901.
Bernal fulfilled his agenda through his own brilliant work and by inspiring the upcoming generation of crystallographers at the Cavendish Laboratory and at Birbeck College London where he was appointed Professor of Physics in 1937.
Bernal was a very popular figure in the USSR and in the post-war East European States.

Bernal thought that "the properties of hydrated cements are are closely related to those of many biological gels and are strongly influenced by the same long range forces".
John recalled that when he came for the interview before being accepted as a student Bernal showed him the structure seen in the adjacent photograph.
Bernal was a great scientist; at this symposium we heard of his intellectual legacy to biomolecular structure world in the thriving Birkbeck laboratory, but his interests were not limited to science; he was also interested in the Arts and in politics.

 Letter from Francis Crick to John Desmond Bernal (January 20, 1969)
In this letter Crick pays tribute to the crystallographer and political activist J. Desmond Bernal, called Sage by his friends because of his reputation as a polymath.
In the early 1930s Bernal had pioneered the use of X-ray diffraction techniques in elucidating the structure of biologically significant macromolecules such as proteins, at the time an undertaking of almost insurmountable complexity.
The crystallographers and Nobel Laureates Max Perutz and Dorothy Hodgkin, mentioned by Crick, studied with Bernal at Cambridge University in the 1930s and were his most famous disciples.
