The Responsibility of Great Science: Lessons from Oppenheimer
<p><strong>If you work in science that impacts humans, please go and see <em>Oppenheimer.</em></strong></p>
<p>If you are not familiar with the story (I wasn’t), it’s based on a book called <em>American Prometheus</em>, and is about J. Robert Oppenheimer’s journey building the atomic bomb that was dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki at the end of World War II and his life after the war. He’s an anti-hero with a lot of imperfections (including arrogance, infidelity, and an ambiguous relationship with the early Communist party in America). As I watched the film, I couldn’t stop thinking about how his journey was familiar to me.</p>
<p><strong>It reminded me of how biotech works and what it means to translate science into human impact.</strong></p>
