| | Keeping faith in gene manipulation 191

| | A revolutionary philosopher of science 203
Thomas S. Kuhn, who died on 17 June aged 73, is best known for introducing the principles of 'paradigms' and Incommensurability' into the study of science. The influence of his work, however, goes beyond such slogans.
