Many thanks to @carlzimmer at the @nytimes for spending so much time with us and capturing the "magic" of science so beautifully.

"Success can be just as mysterious as failure. Some researchers consistently get experiments to work, earning befuddled admiration from colleagues. Scientists even have a special term for this gift: magic hands.

The idea may come as a surprise to people who don’t spend their lives in labs. Science is not supposed to be magic.

When scientists carry out experiments, they keep careful records, both in lab notebooks and later in published scientific papers. Other researchers use that information to repeat the experiment.

But every scientist discovers sooner or later that essential knowledge is not necessarily written down."
