Please accept my humble thanks for being brave enough, and developing the knowledge and skills, to further the research we all need. I think the people who work to improve the human condition are more the heroes than the people who develop ever-more efficient ways to blow things up. And certainly more moral than the high and mighty who would keep enlightenment from the people. Thank you.
