The title of this post is a quote from Albert Einstein and I truly believe in it based on years of both studying and teaching. However, creativity and innovation comes through knowledge... to know what others have done and to stand on the shoulder of the giants. So far, I have had the privilege and honor of working with truly gifted friends through the years (not that I am that old!), namely the members of Iranian National Biology Olympiad team (1998-2002); and I have learned one thing truly special: "with great knowledge comes great responsibility" (or was it power?!). A forged quote from Spiderman is not the most scholastic way of putting it but I'm sure it is efficient enough. The bottom-line is: let's share what we know to trigger creativity. Let's be the shoulders upon which the future giants can rely.
Mission statement: This blog has one goal (well, other than my probable daily babbeling) and that is to revisit our day to day increase of knowledge... and more importantly share it with others. Simply, imagine 10 years from now every biologist referring to this blog for their questions as we do now in case of wikipedia. In general, I'll post the interesting stuff that I find out about... if you have similar posts just email them to me at "hani.goodarzi AT gmail DOT com" and I'll post them in due course if suitable for the content of this blog. The same holds for questions, if I know the answer I'll post them; if not, everyone can participate in finding it.

As James Watson says:"Share Valuable research tools."
A large number of famous discoveries are the product of sharing new findings amongst competitors and non competitors.At the end, one hand washes the other.Simply put, science advances by sharing and cooperation(even between close competitors !)-Alireza,
