Basic Science to Clinical Care
The 1960s and 1970s were wonderful times to be doing research in fetal physiology. To be in Oxford during that period was to be in one of the great centers of research activity. I had the good fortune to be at the right place at the right time. Oxford was our Camelot. Colleagues from around the world spoke enviously of one having an “Been to Oxford” (BtO) degree. Geoffrey S. Dawes (1918–1996), Director of the Nuffi eld Institute for Medical Research in Oxford, was undoubtedly the father fi gure (some said godfather fi gure) of fetal physiology in his day.
