He made pioneering contributions to the theory of alpha-decay, Big Bang theory and application of nuclear physics to evolution of stars. He also made a notable contribution to biology by being the first to clearly formulate the genetic code problem. He is well-known for his popular books where he clearly and simply described complex modern science concepts through an example of his hero, Mr. Tompkins.
