I'm not sure that tenure at 36 is so remarkable - I'd have to know a lot more than I do about the science departments at Berkeley. At the American universities of my life it's been about right to be 36 and tenured in the sciences - it's a little young for a humanist, but not much below average. And for *anyone* on the research fast track like Duesberg it's not remarkable at all. --
