Abstract

You’ve settled comfortably into your lab routine: you’ve established your goals and objectives, your research project is well underway, and you’ve been carrying out experiments for several months. You feel good about your progress and are convinced that you’re on the right track.

Science has promised us truth. It has never promised us either peace or happiness.

– Gustave Le Bon
