About this Quote

This quote by Francis Darwin highlights the significance of not just having a fantastic concept, however also having the ability to successfully interact and persuade others of its credibility. In the field of science, it is inadequate to just create a groundbreaking concept; one need to also have the ability to convince others to believe in its potential and significance. This needs strong interaction abilities and the ability to present evidence and arguments in a persuading way. Eventually, it is the individual who has the ability to encourage the world of their concept who gets the credit, rather than the one who initially created the concept. This quote functions as a reminder that reliable communication is an important element of scientific development.
