I Have An Idealistic View Of Science

After An Extensive Interview He Arranged For My Weaknesses In Foreign Languages To Be Over-looked And So I Started A Biology Degree At Birmingham In 1967.

I Had A Great Time Investigating The Pigments Of Different Mutant Fruit Flies By Following Experimental Protocols Published In Scientific American, And I Also Remember Making My Own Beetle Collection When It Was Still Acceptable To Make Such Collections.

It Was During My Time At Secondary School That I Abandoned Religion.

I Have An Idealistic View Of Science As A Liberalising And Progressive Force For Humanity.

Scientific Understanding Is Often Beautiful, A Profoundly Aesthetic Experience Which Gives Pleasure Not Unlike The Reading Of A Great Poem.
