Author Michael Chrichton has died, reportedly losing a long battle with cancer. Chrichton was best known as the author of “Jurrasic Park”, and the creator of the NBC television show “E.R.”.
Born in Chicago Oct. 23, 1942, Crichton graduated summa cum laude from Harvard College, received his MD from Harvard Medical School, and was a postdoctoral fellow at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies, researching public policy with Jacob Bronowski. He has taught courses in anthropology at Cambridge University and writing at MIT. Crichton’s 2004 bestseller, “State of Fear,” acknowledged the world was growing warmer, but challenged extreme anthropogenic warming scenarios.
Our condolences to his family.
