I’m curious how you found Michael’s work? Like what led you to familiarize yourself with his research?
He seems to be essentially the only biologist that hackernews knows and he always (always!) comes up in biology discussion. I’m wondering how this particular situation arose.
It's been long enough that I'm not really sure. It's every time I see some of his work the way he looks at problems always intrigued me.
Dogma in science tends to blind people, and when a field starts slowing down and running into things we cannot address then we have to start looking at what we should be questioning.
