rockefeller and imanishi kari
as a scientist, I recall hearing a lot of rumors that when DB was head of rockefeller, he tried to reform Rockefellers notorious system of very senior professors who were answerable to no one, which stifled younger sicentists. see here for that https://archive.nytimes.com/www.nytimes.com/books/98/09/20/specials/baltimore-scandal.html

In reagard to imanishi kari, one problem was that initially MIT biology dept tried to do an informal in house investigation, which, with hindsight, was really stupid. also the investigation by the govt, iirc the treasury dept, was keystone kops stupid: they said it was evidence of fraud that IK had transcribed liquid scintillation printout numbers without carefully writing down the last digit LSCs printed out a tape with the measured dpm for each tube, like this 12076.4 130.3 1800.6 and so forth the thing is, the numbers are that accurate so the last decimal place or even two are totally irrelevant really shocking stupidity by federal agents — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.245.17.105 (talk) 19:27, 10 May 2021 (UTC)

Lead needs a rewrite
I tried to find out what work David Baltimore got the Nobel for, what he is famous for. Couldn't find it in the lead as is. Definitely needs a rewrite. AncientWalrus (talk) 08:46, 8 September 2023 (UTC)
