Delightful story from one of my scientific heroes @ProfCarlSagan.
Prof. Carl Sagan @ProfCarlSagan Jun 7
When I was just a boy growing up in Brooklyn, my parents knew very little of science. But they gave me an invaluable gift: an open door to curiosity.

​I remember walking into the public library on 86th Street, trembling slightly with a question that had consumed my mind. I asked the librarian for a book about stars. She smiled and handed me a thin volume filled with pictures of actors and actresses. I told her, politely, that this wasn’t what I meant.

​She returned with the right book. I sat down, opened the pages, and read a phrase that took my breath away: Stars are suns, only very far away.

Not long now for this #MATSUS26 @nanoGe_Conf conference in Barcelona.

Looking forward to seeing friends/colleagues & to presenting our latest studies on perovskite solar cell materials.

I'll also squeeze in a visit to my favourite Gaudi building: La Pedrera - Casa Milà.
