Quote of the Day (James Watson, Disputing Conventional Wisdom on Scientists)
“One could not be a successful scientist without
realizing that, in contrast to the popular conception supported by newspapers
and mothers of scientists, a goodly number of scientists are not only
narrow-minded and dull, but also just stupid.”-- Noble laurate James Watson, The Double Helix: A Personal Account of the Discovery of the Structure of DNA (1968)
I'm a librarian (no, NOT a "cybrarian" or "information scientist" or any of the other trendy terms the profession has come up with), as well as a freelance writer/researcher; my political leanings are contrarian, much to the dismay of friends on the left and right, and so I will give anyone looking for my vote exactly what they deserve -- the back of my hand
