That is a great guide that should be taken very seriously by every scientist, young or old. Huggins said three things one should not do, for young people. One, do not go to meetings, you are wasting your time. Two, do not go to the library. If you have to go to the library to know what to do, you're not a good scientist.
Discovery is made in the brain.
Once a discovery is made in the brain, do an experiment to see if it's right or wrong. Once you know your discovery is right, go to the library to see if your discovery is in some way connected to what has been done and past knowledge. Three, do not write long reviews or books. I violate the third rule once every ten years because I am kind of forced to write reviews. I think Huggins' teaching is right.
