I look forward to a time in which we will be contributors to the world of science and technology, not only receivers of knowledge from elsewhere. His achievement is certainly the outcome of his genius, but is also due, at least in part, to the support he received from the university that sponsored his research, and the team of around 150 assistants who helped him bring his work to fruition. Most importantly, Zuweil had the means of devoting himself fully to his work. There are other scientists who, because they must make ends meet, cannot give the necessary time and effort to their research. We should redouble our scientific efforts in the near future to attain the level of efficiency required to support the endeavours of our scientists, to give them a genuine chance to break new scientific ground here.
Science is perhaps the wisest investment of all.
