Hans Winkler
Hans Karl Albert Winkler (23 April 1877 – 22 November 1945) was a German botanist. He was Professor of Botany at the University of Hamburg, and a director of that university's Institute of Botany. Winkler coined the term 'heteroploidy' in 1916. He is remembered for coining the term 'genome' in 1920, by making a portmanteau of the words gene and chromosome. He wrote:
This may be translated as: "I propose the expression Genom for the haploid chromosome set, which, together with the pertinent protoplasm, specifies the material foundations of the species ..."
Winkler also worked at the University of Naples, in Italy, where he researched the physiology of the alga Bryopsis.
He joined the NSDAP in 1937.

The Way It Is
by: Heinz WincklerGood times were burning so strong and so bright
That other lovers pale
But we know the good times they come and they go
Coz life’s no fairytale
So if you wake one morning
And your heart starts questioning
You gotta hold on and don’t let go
Coz when it all starts falling
Tell me can you build it back up again
Can you promise me baby…
(CHORUS)
We don’t talk any more
We don’t dance in the dark
You gotta hold on
And don’t let me out of your world
We don’t walk in the rain
You don’t call out my name
You gotta hold on and don’t let me go
That’s the way it is, that’s the way it is
No lies no secrets I hide from your eyes
The way it’s meant to be
Coz in time in time we all lose this disguise
And beauty fades away
Coz when you wake one morning
And I’m not the way that I used to be
You gotta hold on and don’t let go…
And when it all starts falling
Tell me can you build it back up again
Can you promise me baby…
CHORUS
And like a ship on the ocean
Without your love watching over me
I’m lost at sea
If I needed you would you rescue me
