Lederberg I
The Joshua Lederberg Memorial Science Tournament: Of Plasmids and People is a science side event written by Eric Mukherjee, Stevejon Guth, Andrew Hart, Alejandro Lopez-Lago, Bruce Arthur, Zhao Zhang, and Mike Cheyne. It's approximately of ACF Nationals difficulty and it features the following distribution
- 5/5 Biology
- 5/5 Chemistry
- 5/5 Physics
- 1/1 Earth Science
- 1/1 Astronomy
- 1/2 or 2/1 Math
- 1/2 or 2/1 Computer Science
- 1/1 Other minor science/Philosophy of Science
- 1/1 Trash
It was played at the 2009 Minnesota Open, with a team led by Seth Teitler winning outright. Stats can be found here: http://sites.google.com/site/limozeen/lederberg_standings.html (this requires some fixing)
The tournament was moderately well-received, with some complaints about the excess of biology and chemistry with respect to physics and other science and the prevalence of named things in physics. However, it was praised for cutting back on the relative amount of organic chemistry and branching out into other subdisciplines.
Lederberg II
Lederberg II: Daughter Cell was played as a side event at the 2014 ICT, won by Team Teamocil (Seth Teitler, Selene Koo, Jake Sundberg, and Billy Beyer), over second place team Terror Bird 2: The Terrorizing (Billy Busse, Adam Silverman, Ike Jose, Brian McPeak). Seth Teitler was the highest scorer with 88ppg.
A later online Skype mirror was won by the CMU Department of Quizbowl Studies (Jerry Vinokurov, Victor Prieto, and Ian Drayer), and was notable for the "performance" of Steven Hines (see his article for more information).
