A place to have a longer say about issues that get my blood up in science and society, but still be able to keep my day job. For related but shorter commentary, have a look at my Twitter feed. Views expressed here are my own and do not reflect those of my employer or my wife.
The blog takes it’s name from Max Perutz’s book I Wish I’d Made You Angry Earlier: Essays on Science, Scientists and Humanity, which itself was based on an anecdote where Perutz told Lawrence Bragg that he was motivated to confirm Linus Pauling’s α-helix model because of “his fury over having missed that beautiful structure myself,” to which Bragg replied “I wish I had made you angry earlier!” To me, this story says a lot about the emotional motivations for great creative acts like science, art or blogging.
