In the record

Leland Harrison "Lee" Hartwell (born October 30, 1939) is an American former president and director of the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle, Washington. The birth-card coordinate for October 30 is the 5 of Hearts — a calendar position, not a forecast of the 2001 Physiology or Medicine prize.

The 5 of Hearts coordinate

Leland Hartwell's birthday maps to the 5 of Hearts (The Restless Heart). Card Blueprints treats that as a 365-day coordinate: solar value = 55 − (2 × month + day), and the year is unused. It is not a prediction about a Nobel Prize and not a verdict on Leland Hartwell. The card's own language, quoted as system copy rather than biography: You let love change shape without using motion as a way out of being seen.

Leland Hartwell in the public record

He shared the 2001 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine with Paul Nurse and Tim Hunt, for their discoveries of protein molecules that control the division (duplication) of cells. Working in yeast, Hartwell identified the fundamental role of checkpoints in cell cycle control, and CDC genes such as CDC28, which controls the start of the cycle—the progression through G1. Hartwell attended Glendale High School in Glendale, California, and then received his Bachelor of Science from the California Institute of Technology in 1961. In 1964, he received his PhD in biology from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. From 1965 to 1968, he worked at the University of California, Irvine as a professor. He moved to the University of Washington in 1968. In a series of experiments from 1970 to 1971, Hartwell discovered the cell division cycle (CDC) genes in baker's yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae). These genes regulate the cell cycle and mutations in the genes are involved in some types of cancer.

Where the record meets the 5 of Clubs

A card is a calendar coordinate, not a cause. What follows sets one line of the card's own published language beside one sentence of the sourced record, paired by a documented rule. It is a resemblance offered for the reader to weigh — not a claim about Leland Hartwell, and not a forecast of a Nobel Prize.

FAQ

What is Leland Hartwell's birth card?

The 5 of Hearts. October 30 maps to that card through the public Card Blueprints formula. The year of birth is not used.
