Marshall and J. Robin War

4、ren toppled the conventional wisdom in more ways than one. They proved that most ulcers were caused by a lowly bacterium, which was an outrageous idea at the time. But they also showed that if science is to advance, scientists need the freedom and the funding to let their imaginations roam. Lets sta

5、rt with the Nobel pairs gut instincts. In the late 1970s, the accepted medical theory was that ulcers were caused by stress, smoking, and alcohol. But when pathologist Warren cranked up his microscope to a higher-than-usual magnification, he was surprised to find S-shaped bacteria in specimens taken

6、 from patients with gastritis. By 1982, Marshall, only 30 years old and still in training at Australias Royal Perth Hospital, and Warren, the more seasoned physician to whom he was assigned, were convinced that the bacteria were living brazenly in a sterile, acidic zonethe stomachthat medical texts

7、had declared uninhabitable. Marshall and Warrens attempts to culture the bacteria repeatedly failed. But then they caught a lucky breaker rather, outbreak. Drug-resistant staph was sweeping through the hospital. Preoccupied with the infections, lab techs left Marshalls and Warrens petri dishes to la

8、nguish in a dark, humid incubator over the long Easter holiday. Those five days were enough time to grow a crop of strange, translucent microbes. Marshall later demonstrated that ulcer-afflicted patients harbored the same strain of bacteria. In 1983, he began successfully treating these sufferers wi

9、th antibiotics and bismuth (the active ingredient in Pepto-Bismol). That same year, at an infectious disease conference in Belgium, a questioner in the audience asked Marshall if he thought bacteria caused at least some stomach ulcers. Marshall shot back that he believed bacteria caused all stomach

10、ulcers. Those were fighting words. The young physician from Perth was telling the fields academically pedigreed experts that they had it all wrong. “It was impossible to displace the dogma,“ Marshall explained to me in a jaunty, wide-ranging conversation several years ago. “Their agenda was to shut

11、me up and get me out of gastroenterology and into general practice in the outback.“ At first, Marshall couldnt produce the crowning scientific proof of his claim: inducing ulcers in animals by feeding them the bacterium. So in 1984, as he later reported in the Medical Journal of Australia. “a 32-yea

12、r-old man, a light smoker and social drinker who had no known gastrointestinal disease or family history of peptic ulceration“a superb test subject, in other words“ swallowed the growth from a flourishing three-day culture of the isolate.“ The volunteer was Marshall himself, Five days later, and for

13、 seven mornings in a row, he experienced the classic and unpretty symptoms of severe gastritis. Helicobacter pylori have since been blamed not only for the seething inflammation ,of ulcers but also for virtually all stomach cancer. Marshalls antibiotic treatment has replaced surgery as standard care

14、. And the wise guy booed off the stage at scientific meetings has just won the Nobel Prize. What does all this have to do with scientific freedom? Today, US government funding favors “hypothesis-driven“ rather than “hypothesis-generating“ research. In the former, a scientist starts with a safe suppo

15、sition and conducts the experiment to prove or disprove the idea. “If you want to get research funding; you better make sure that youve got the experiment half done,“ Marshall told me. “You have to prove it works before theyll fund you to test it out.“ By contrast, in hypothesis-generating research,

16、 the scientist inches forward by hunch, gathering clues and speculating on their meaning. The payoff is never clear. With todays crimped science budgets and intense competition for grants, such risky research rarely gets funded. Proceeding on intuition, Mar- shall told me, “is a luxury that not many

17、 researchers have.“ It helps, he added, to be an outsider. “The people who have got a stake in the old technology arc never the ones to embrace the new technology. Its always someone a bit on the periphery-who hasnt got anything to gain by the status quowho is interested in changing it.“ 2 This week

42、47 Old age and seniority alone do net command authority among the British: in fact modem life bas been developing so fast that old people often appear tiresome and out of date.
