Observations of the Professional Galaxy Through a Humble Telescope

摘要

preparation for this address, intimidated as I was by so august a gathering, predominated by basic scientists and remembering a past dean's assessment that "clinicians are a dime a dozen," I was sobered by the gravity of your deliberations on veterinary medical education's strategic plan for the next 25 years! Recently the news announced the investment of billions of dollars (translated as a few million Euros) by the international science community in complex new space telescopes, far surpassing the Hubble, that may see the beginnings of the universe—the Big Bang itself! Hence the play on words in the title of this address.
