Karl Barry Sharpless Quotes:
Ocupation: Chemist
Life: b. April 28, 1941
Birthday: April 28
The discipline, nonetheless, is exacting: everything that can be observed should be observed, even if it is only recalled as the bland background from which the intriguing bits pop out like Venus in the evening sky. The goal is always finding something new, hopefully unimagined and, better still, hitherto unimaginable.
