This is also a story of perseverance, highlighting the importance of thinking for yourself, and following evidence, not the crowd. This is a story that began centuries ago, and will likely continue on far into the future, and marks a significant advancement in the fields of chemistry and materials science. This is the discovery of quasicrystals, for which the Nobel Prize in chemistry was awarded in 2011, and which fundamentally changed our most basic understanding of matter and the universe. To kick off this series, I’m going to begin by sharing what I consider to be one of the most compelling stories of a groundbreaking scientific discovery in the last hundred years. I’ve been very excited to introduce this format to the Wiser Tomorrow project, and look forward to hearing the response.

I’ll also be posting this series in written form, which you can find on the Wiser Tomorrow Substack.
This won’t be replacing my regular conversations, but instead will allow me an avenue to cover more specific topics, in more detail, and in an organized fashion. Today I’m introducing a new narrative series covering a wide range of topics, from the history of science, to recent archeological discoveries. We further explore how science is shaped by, and in turn shapes, the cultural contexts in which it operates.Support the show Our conversation navigates through the history of science, the complexities associated with attributing names in and out of science, and the often underappreciated magic of serendipity in scientific discovery.
