From the 1970s until around 1991, Walter, an endowed chair of Biochemistry at Harvard, conducted experiments in the [[fringe:Harvard Laboratory|basement]] of the college's Kresge building, along with his lab partner [[fringe:William Bell|William Bell]] and their assistants. The field of the duo's experiments ranged from quantum physics to genetic engineering, propelling Walter into an unknown relationship with the U.S. government to advance its most scientifically innovative -- and ethically questionable -- research projects under the heading of fringe science.
