Reading
and writing are complementary joys although it is easier to read for
prolonged periods than to write. Both reading and writing can give new
insights. Reading can give direct new information, whilst writing can give
insight through the ordering of information into a logical or desirable
sequence and form. I can hardly imagine that is it possible to do one
without the other, but I tend to think that some people write more than
they read – and if they read it might be mostly their own manuscripts,
proofs or final papers. The more I read the more I notice how poorly some
people express themselves. There is too much haste in writing (tongue in
cheek) which I notice in some of the papers that I review - below is an
overview of my editorial activities. And yes, Francis Crick is right,
mostly.
