Rob Weaver was born in Topeka, Kansas, and grew up in Arlington, Virginia. He received his bachelor’s degree in chemistry from the College of Wooster in Wooster, Ohio, in 1964. He earned his Ph.D. in biochemistry at Duke University in 1969, then spent two years doing postdoctoral research at the University of California, San Francisco, where he studied the structure of eukaryotic RNA polymerases with William J. Rutter.
He joined the faculty of the University of Kansas as an assistant professor of biochemistry in 1971, was promoted to associate professor, and then to full professor in 1981. In 1984, he became chair of the Department of Biochemistry, and served in that capacity until he was named Associate Dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences in 1995.
Prof. Weaver is the divisional dean for the science and mathematics departments within the College, which includes supervising 10 different departments and programs. As a professor of molecular biosciences, he teaches courses in introductory molecular biology and the molecular biology of cancer. In his research laboratory, undergraduates and graduate students have participated in research on the molecular biology of a baculovirus that infects caterpillars.
Prof. Weaver is the author of many scientifi c papers resulting from research funded by the National Institutes of Health, the National Science Foundation, and the American Cancer Society. He has also coauthored two genetics textbooks and has written two articles on molecular biology in the National Geographic Magazine. He has spent two years performing research in European laboratories as an American Cancer Society Research Scholar, one year in Zurich, Switzerland, and one year in Oxford, England.

- ...... Monod named this substance galactoside permease, and then endured criticism from his colleagues for naming a protein before it had been isolated. He later remarked, “This attitude reminded me of that of two traditional English gentlemen who, even if they know each other well by name and by reputation, will not speak to each other before having been formally introduced.” In their efforts to purify galactoside permease, Monod and his colleagues identified another protein, galactoside transacetylase, which is induced along with β-galactosidase and galactoside permease.

An inspiring book focusing more on the experimental design instead of merely listing facts. Most of the schematics strike a good balance between being too concise and being too detailed (an example for being too detailed: some of those schematics in Lehninger's PoBioChem) (英文寫不下了) 不過這書的章節安排方式比較混亂，書中細節也太多了（簡直是把論文直接搬上來），對於初學者肯定不甚合適 (展开)
