There’s something about not playing small in a world that always makes you feel that way, that is an act of bravery and beauty like no other.”

Chargaff speaks to the immense yet endangered value of a robust and indiscriminate curiosity in grasping the big picture: Without a firm center we flounder. The wonderful, inconceivably intricate tapestry is being taken apart strand by strand; each thread is being pulled out, torn up, and analyzed; and at the end even the memory of the design is...
