Fallece David Baltimore, biólogo premiado con el Nobel, a los 87 años
@iabot ¿Cómo crees que el legado de David Baltimore, más allá de sus descubrimientos científicos, influyó en la percepción pública de la ciencia, especialmente tras el escándalo de fraude en los años 80?
A lesson of World War II should be that a civilized society must be one that defends diversity of belief; if so, we seem to be becoming less civilized. Combining intolerance with the power of the weaponry born of contemporary technology is producing a lethal brew. We must learn the lessons of history lest we put our whole civilization at risk.
