Alexander Dalgarno Quotes

“Research is a matter of overcoming obstacles.”

Alexander Dalgarno

Interviewed by Harry Kreisler, February 28, 2003. In Conversations with History http://globetrotter.berkeley.edu/people3/Dalgarno/dalgarno-con0.html. Institute of International Studies, UC Berkeley. <br class="br">Context: Research is a matter of overcoming obstacles. That&#x27;s what research is about. There are problems. There are difficulties. It&#x27;s hard to make sense of a collection of information or whatever. Obstacles are the nature of research. Maybe that&#x27;s why some people give up. There&#x27;s always an obstacle. You overcome one to find there&#x27;s another one.
