In the article, the author explains the meaning of popular science. He states that the building of science is a more chaotic process. The author is concerned with the individual acts of generating a new idea that sum up into the body of scientific information. To do research is to be in a special state of grace. He maintains that American archival journals suffer for not recording more of the raw experience. He proposes a sort of interview in which good scientists and engineers talk in a very personal way about how they do science and what it means to them.
