My Philosophy of Science

The following sentence always leads me in my research activity: "It is a capital mistake to theorize before one has data. Insensibly one begins to twist facts to suit theories, instead of theories to suit facts". Doyle AC. A Scandal in Bohemia. The complete Sherlock Holmes. New York: Gramercy Books; 2002.
