Interview with Dr. Seymour Benzer [1921-2007]

I wanted to play you a clip from an interview we did with a very famous scientist His name is Seymour Benzer who made a very apt comment about larks and night owls. One reason I was interested in this project why I took it up was my own curioisty about people's behaviour with respect to time. Because I"m the night person my wife was a morning person. There is nothing we could do about it. She was a lark and I was an owl, and we'd see each other in between. But... And observing other people, I could see that they often fell into one category or the other. Most people synchronize by having to show up for work at a particular time but if you remove that synchronization they drift.
