You can become a scientist because you want to know how an egg becomes a chicken. You become a mediocre scientist if you think that anything you’ve ever read in your biology textbook actually explains how that happens. That’s why I think scientists have no defense against awe. Because the more you know, the more you’re going: “But why is that? How did that cell know that it should be an eye cell?” The good scientists I know live in this perpetual state of wonder.<<
