“You cannot hope to build a better world without improving the individuals. To that end, each of us must work for his own improvement and, at the same time, share a general responsibility for all humanity, our particular duty being to aid those to whom we think we can be most useful.”<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0— Marie Curie<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

This week we remember doctor, author and producer Michael Crichton who created The Andromeda Strain, Jurassic Park<\/em> and many other works.<\/p>\n
