Selection Statement:
I was introduced to the story “Funes, the memorious” in college by Dr. Laurie Osborne. The story was used to illustrate the importance of abstraction in communication. I have shared this story many times in my scientific career to highlight the critical role of scientists in the synthesis of complex information.
