Of knowledge and beauty p185 doi:10.1038/nnano.2017.41 In 1772, Robert Boyle wrote: "So much admirable workmanship, as God hath displayed in the Universe, was never meant for eyes that willfully close themselves." It is scientists' duty to make a convincing effort to ensure that this admirable workmanship is there for all to see. |
