Linus Pauling is my scientific grandfather. He incorrectly solved the structure of DNA as a triple helix. Despite winning 2 Nobel Prizes, he was wrong on this one. The triple helix is my reminder, that science, and all thinking endeavors, are a dynamic process. Past performance does not guarantee future success. Being wrong is all part of the game.

I just realized that the Economist article is dated March 19, 2009, which is the same day I made my post. But I didn't read that article until this morning, I promise.
