Zitat des Tages von Arthur Kornberg:
The pursuit of curiosity about the basic facts of nature has proven, with few exceptions throughout the history of medical science, to be the route by which the successful drugs and devices of modern medicine were discovered.
As in biomedical science, pioneering industrial inventions have not been mothered by necessity. Rather, inventions for which there was no commercial use only later became the commercial airplanes, xerography and lasers on which modern society depends.
DNA, like a tape recording, carries a message in which there are specific instructions for a job to be done.
Without advances, medicine regresses and reverts to witchcraft.
