Unfortunately, the case law and legal commentary are a little muddled. That said, I can finally say with respect to this project that I have produced something for which I do not have to apologize for the length of my letter because I didn't take (have) the time to write something shorter.Eleanor Gregorynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7229885.post-75481977556133047742015-04-26T17:09:26.220-07:002015-04-26T17:09:26.220-07:00Your image, reminds me, reading to the Grand Child...Your image, reminds me, reading to the Grand Children, every one of these: <a href="http://images.anbmedia.com/articles/books/i_spy_spectacular.jpg" rel="nofollow">I spy</a> Photographs by Walter Wick Riddles by Jean marzolloNorth Van's Grumpshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17571810726275726952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7229885.post-81539083164868582762015-04-26T15:24:01.484-07:002015-04-26T15:24:01.484-07:00scotty--
Whew...That's a tough one.
Because ...scotty--<br /><br />Whew...That's a tough one.<br /><br />Because to do real good pure science you've got to be really, really well prepared which takes some of the serendipity out of the thing before you even start I reckon.<br /><br />On the flip side, applied is to a large degree crank turning and better mouse trap building. <br /><br />Thing is, sometimes things can come out of nowhere even with the applied work despite the fact that you try to control things as much as possible to make sure that what you have at the end can be clearly interpreted one way or the other. <br /><br />In the main, though, I'd say that there is more serendipity involved in pure stuff, especially because there you are more likely to follow-up, hard, on a negative result if it looks like it could lead to something interesting. A whole lotta more ups and downs there though.<br /><br /><br />.RossKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07677239332112652522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7229885.post-81603466169465672372015-04-26T15:10:33.118-07:002015-04-26T15:10:33.118-07:00Q: which is more serendipitous, pure or applied sc...Q: which is more serendipitous, pure or applied science?
