Discovered in 1946 by Joshua Lederberg and Edward Tatum, conjugation is a mechanism of horizontal gene transfer as are transformation and transduction although these two other mechanisms do not involve cell-to-cell contact.

At the same time, he worked with geneticist Joshua Lederberg.

Nobel Prize winning geneticist Joshua Lederberg advocated cloning and genetic engineering in a seminal article in The American Naturalist in 1966 and again, the following year, in The Washington Post.

Nobel laureate Joshua Lederberg stated that Avery and his laboratory provided " the historical platform of modern DNA research " and " betokened the molecular revolution in genetics and biomedical science generally.

The role of symbiosis in cell evolution was revived partly by Joshua Lederberg, and finally brought to light by Lynn Margulis in a series of papers and books.

Replica plating was first described by Esther Lederberg and Joshua Lederberg in 1952.

However, Joshua Lederberg notes that the first step of defining the problem had been done by others before him.

Joshua Lederberg, ForMemRS ( May 23, 1925 – February 2, 2008 ) was an American molecular biologist known for his work in microbial genetics, artificial intelligence, and the United States space program.

Joshua Lederberg began medical studies at Columbia's College of Physicians and Surgeons while continuing to perform experiments.

Joshua Lederberg and Norton Zinder showed in 1951 that genetic material could be transferred from one strain of the bacterium Salmonella typhimurium to another using viral material as an intermediary step.

In 1956, M. Laurance Morse, Esther Lederberg and Joshua Lederberg also discovered specialized transduction.

During her time in Joshua Lederberg's laboratory, Esther Lederberg also discovered fertility factor F, later publishing with Joshua Lederberg and Luigi Luca Cavalli-Sforza.

In 1956, the Society of Illinois Bacteriologists simultaneously awarded Joshua Lederberg and Esther Lederberg the Pasteur Medal, for " their outstanding contributions to the fields of microbiology and genetics ".

Abraham Joshua Heschel ( January 11, 1907 – December 23, 1972 ) was a Polish-born American rabbi and one of the leading Jewish theologians and Jewish philosophers of the 20th century.

Rather than being written as history, the Deuteronomistic history – Deuteronomy, Joshua, Judges, Samuel and Kings – was intended to illustrate a theological scheme in which Israel and her leaders are judged by their obedience to the teachings and laws ( the covenant ) set down in the book of Deuteronomy.

The earliest parts of the book are possibly chapters 2 – 11, the story of the conquest ; more certain is that this section was then incorporated into an early form of Joshua that was part of then original Deuteronomistic history, written late in the reign of king Josiah ( reigned 640 – 609 BCE ); it seems clear that the book was not completed until after the fall of Jerusalem to the Babylonians in 586, and possibly not until after the return from the Babylonian exile late in the 6th century.

* Joshua served as the mediator of the renewed covenant between Yahweh and Israel at Shechem ( 8: 30 – 35 ; 24 ), just as Moses was the mediator of Yahweh's covenant with the people at Mount Sinai / Mount Horeb.

* Before his death Joshua delivered a farewell address to the Israelites ( 23 – 24 ), just as Moses had delivered his farewell address ( Deut.
