NO EXCUSES

A scientist sent me this link to a musical video of John Lennon's "Working Class Hero" in response to a piece I wrote adjuring scientists to join in the fray against the elite, the self-same elite who withhold from us what Russell Lord called "the gift of a fresh eye and an untrammeled curiosity", which is the sine qua non of all authentic scientific inquiry and enterprise.

I answered:

Having two broken legs is no excuse not to run to help your fellow.

The risk of being shot is no excuse never to have lived for another.
