I'm working on a project to dramatically diminish the need for animal-testing in science experiments[1], and the process has been humbling. I know little about science. As you recommended in the article, I've been speaking with scientists from around the world (and anyone else who will listen) and learning as much as I can, as fast as I can. Zen Master Shunryu Suzuki was right, "in the beginner's mind there are many possibilities, but in the expert's mind there are few". [1]http://selfexperiments.com
