	Birthday 70
		Stanley knew that chemists had been experimenting with electric sparks in gas mixtures since the end of the 19th century, sometimes producing interesting syntheses, but it seemed that no one had though about how this might relate to pre biotic syntheses and the origin of life.
		Stanley estimated that he had made a few milligrams of these amino acids, a surprising amount considering that the synthesis was thought at the time to be non- specific for any particular class of organic compound.
		Stanley wrote a draft of the paper and when he showed it to Urey he was surprised by his immediate and generous response.

	Stanley Miller Summary
		Miller's experimental conditions consisted mainly of an atmosphere of hydrogen, with strong admixtures of ammonia, methane, and sterilized water.
		Stanley Lloyd Miller is most noted for his experiments that attempted to replicate the chemical conditions that may have first given rise to life on earth.
		Miller has hypothesized that the oceans of primitive earth were a mass of molecules, a prebiological "soup," which over the course of a billion years became a living system.

		When Miller first presented his experimental findings to a large seminar, it is reported that at one point, Enrico Fermi politely asked if it was known whether this kind of process could have actually taken place on the primitive Earth.
		Stanley Miller with his Nobel Laureate supervisor, Harold Urey, demonstrated that 13 of the 21 amino acids necessary for life could be made in a glass flask.
		Miller found that at least 10 percent of the carbon was converted into a small number of organic compounds and about two percent went into amino acids.

	Stanley Miller - Telegraph
		Stanley Miller, who died on May 20 aged 77, devised a famous experiment which showed how amino acids, the building blocks of proteins, could be generated from simple chemicals, raising the possibility that the first living cells might have been generated spontaneously by natural chemical reactions in the "primordial soup".
		Miller filled a pyrex flask with an "ocean" of water and an "atmosphere" of methane, ammonia and hydrogen; boiled the water to create water vapour; and then blasted the whole lot with bolts of simulated lightning.
		In 1969 Miller's experiment received a boost when a meteorite which had landed at Murchison, Western Australia, was discovered to be carrying all the organic chemicals found by Miller in his flask, suggesting that such chemicals were easily formed in the conditions prevailing in our solar system some 4.5 billion years ago.

	Miller (1953) Science 117:529-529
		Miller reported that by sending repeated electric sparks through a sealed flask containing a mixture of methane, ammonia, hydrogen, and water vapor, he had made some of the amino acids found in proteins.
		While Miller was confident of his results, the rows of famous faces in his audience were, to say the least, intimidating.
		After the event, Miller thought that the questions had been constructive, but since the results were hard to believe, they had simply wanted to ensure that he had not made some mistake.

	Stanley Miller, 77; chemist was a pioneer in studying the origins of life - Los Angeles Times
		Stanley Miller, the UC San Diego chemist who was the first to demonstrate that the organic molecules necessary for life could be generated in a laboratory flask simulating the primitive Earth's atmosphere, died Sunday from heart failure in a hospital in National City.
		"Stanley Miller was the father of origin-of-life chemistry," said marine chemist Jeffrey L. Bada of UC San Diego, a former graduate student of Miller's.
		Miller spent the better part of the next five decades extending his work and demonstrating that a variety of other crucial chemicals — including the pyrimidines found in ribonucleic acids and pantetheine, a precursor of a chemical called coenzyme Q — could be produced under similar conditions.

	The Scientist : Stanley L. Miller dies
		Stanley Miller, a chemist who showed that, given the right conditions, simple organic compounds can form life, died this week at the age of 77 following a series of strokes.
		Stanley Miller, then 23, presented the findings in the spring of 1953 to a room full of skeptical scientists during a seminar.
		Miller was later the first assistant professor of chemistry recruited to work at the University of California, San Diego, where he continued to study the origins of life.

	EXOBIOLOGY: An Interview with Stanley L. Miller
		In the early 1950s Stanley L. Miller, working in the laboratory of Harold C. Urey at the University of Chicago, did the first experiment designed to clarify the chemical reactions that occurred on the primitive earth.
		Years after this experiment, a meteorite that struck near Murchison, Australia, was shown to contain a number of the same amino acids that Miller identified and in roughly the same relative amounts.
		Such coincidences lent credence to the idea that Miller's protocol approximated the chemistry of the prebiotic earth.

		And although there may have been and still are many laboratories around the world that are involved in experiments to produce organic compounds from various kinds of gases that may have existed on the primitive earth, it's not like what probably occurred on the early earth back four or more billions years ago.

	Dr. Stanley Miller - Telic Thoughts
		Miller, defending his approach, said that his rival’s theory was “overblown” and that it failed to show how copious amounts of amino acids could be produced, as he had done.
		That Miller was able to carry his irrational views to the grave is a testament to the power of the delusion of athiesm.
		Miller's work demonstrated that natural processes make complex chemicals of life previously thought to be irreducibly complex, or at least impossible to get in the absence of supernatural intervention.

		While Miller was studying for his PhD, his supervisor, Harold Urey, suggested a now classic experiment based on the premise that the Earth's early atmosphere had been rich in ammonia, methane and hydrogen.
		Miller and Urey mixed the compounds with water in a flask and ran an electrical charge through them, a substitute for the sun's ultraviolet radiation.
