Biology, in their view, was a science based on clear-cut experiments, not on Big Science-style extravaganzas that vacuumed up data just for the sake it.
Several triptychs and portraits, reflecting on the suicide of his companion George Dyer in 1971, mark a clear experiment in conflicted sentiment; they're heartbreaking but simultaneously clinical.
For example, Hume's fourth rule, "The same cause always produces the same effect, and the same effect never arises but from the same cause," is explained by "[F]or when by any clear experiment I have discover'd the causes or effects of any phænomenon, I immediately extend our observation to every phenomenon of the same kind".
MOREHEAD: Well, um... y'know, there's a very clear experiment about three steps in, so clearly right off the bat, we need to, need to get this ligand made and there's pretty good literature for us to let us do that.
"This is the first clear-cut experiment in this regime.
We used clearing experiments to analyze possible causes for the severe recruitment failure of C. barbata in the area and to quantify the recovery potential of the system.
Clearing experiments demonstrated that Cystoseira has a high recruitment potential, but this is limited by competition with the new space occupiers.
By using clearing experiments we subsequently tested whether greater substratum stability would be sufficient to reverse the loss, or whether for recovery to occur removal of the new dominant space occupiers (i.e., opportunistic species including turf algae and mussels) would also be required.
The clearest experiment to test the requirement of CXCR3 was to utilize CXCR3-deficient endothelial cells derived from mice in which the majority of exon 2 of the CXCR3 gene, which encodes almost the entire protein, has been deleted.
Through clear, repeatable experiments, rather than focus group hunch or vox pop anecdote, he establishes that "the political brain is an emotional brain".
