Gather round the piano for this month's #ArchivesHashtagParty theme of #ArchivesFamilyPhotos, hosted by @usnatarchives. Pictured here is American geneticist Barbara McClintock singing by the piano with her family (including the family dog 🐶) around 1914. Almost 70 years after this picture was taken, she won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for her discovery of genetic transposition, or the ability of genes to change position on the chromosome.
