John Woodland "Woody" Hastings, (March 24, 1927 – August 6, 2014) was a leader in the field of photobiology, especially bioluminescence, and is one of the founders of the field of circadian biology (the study of circadian rhythms, or the sleep-wake cycle). He is the Paul C. Mangelsdorf Professor of Natural Sciences and Professor of Molecular and Cellular Biology at Harvard University.〔(Hastings Lab Home page )〕 He has published over 400 papers and co-edited three books.〔 Hastings research on bioluminescence has principally focused on bacterial luminescence (over 150 papers) and dinoflagellates (over 80 papers).〔 In addition to bacteria and dinoflagellates, he, with his students and colleagues, has published papers on the biochemical and molecular mechanisms of light production in fungi, cnidarians, ctenophores, polychaetes, insects (fireflies and dipterans), ostracod crustaceans, millipedes, tunicates, and fishes with bacterial light organs. His laboratory produced the first evidence for quorum sensing in bacteria,〔Hastings, J.W. and Greenberg, E.P. (1999)〕 early evidence of the molecular mechanisms of circadian clock regulation in organisms (first using dinoflagellate luminescence and then expanded to other cellular proteins),〔〔Sweeney, B.M. and Hastings, J.W. (1957)〕〔Hastings, J.W. (2007)〕 and some of the initial studies of energy transfer in green fluorescent proteins (GFP) in cnidarian luminescence.〔Morin, J.G. and Hastings, J.W. (1971)〕〔Hastings, J.W. and Morin, J.G. (2006)〕 ==Early life== Hastings lived in Seaford, Delaware during his early childhood; in 1937, he joined the choir at the Cathedral of Saint John the Divine and attended the choir's in-house boarding school, visiting his family during vacations. Hastings moved to Lenox School in Lenox, Massachusetts in 1941 to complete his secondary education and was interested in literature, physics, mathematics, ice hockey and basketball.〔http://www.pnas.org/content/104/3/693.full.pdf〕
