摘要

A cool, well-organized mind may be essential for parsing data, but sighting—and clearing—a new scientific frontier depends on a kind of stubborn, dreamy get-up-and-go. Cynthia Kenyon, for example, defied convention by believing that a tiny worm could hold clues to human aging. Napoleone Ferrara persisted—when others doubted—in believing that blocking a tumor's blood supply could help slow cancerous growth. And more than a decade ago Stephen Fodor believed it possible to scan the entire human genome using a silicon chip the size of a postage stamp. All five Discover Award winners for 2004 have weathered doubts about their vision, and each has countered those doubts with steady progress and impressive innovation. And they enjoyed themselves along the way. Stephen Fodor says: "I think the big fun to me was always just doing experiments. It's amazing the results you can get If you just do the experiments. That's what a lot of science is. There are a lot of really, really good ideas in science. There's no lack of good ideas. But there is a lack in the number of people who will actually do the experiments required to test those ideas." Meet five winners who had the ideas—and tested their ideas.
