Science Quotes by Alan Gregg (1)

Most of the knowledge and much of the genius of the research worker lie behind his selection of what is worth observing. It is a crucial choice, often determining the success or failure of months of work, often differentiating the brilliant discoverer from an otherwise admirable but entirely unproductive plodder.
— Alan Gregg
The Furtherance of Medical Research (1941), 8.
