ABSTRACT
Do scientists crave financial and other acclamations to guide them as they decide on the course of their work? Or are they more altruistic, following what Ralph Waldo Emerson said, that "All science has one aim, namely to find a theory of Nature"? While there are no simple answers, some aspects of the question will be explored in three case histories of scientific discovery. In one situation, the discovery was carefully calculated and executed to achieve a very specific purpose. In another, the discovery was the result of an accident that originally caused the investigators anguish. In the last instance, the reported discovery never happened at all. Each incident provides some insight into how scientific discoveries do, or do not, evolve.

For updated information on these meetings, as well as abstracts of the talks and biographical sketches on the speakers, consult the Web Page for the Local Section at http://www.cas.usf.edu/acs/ . For all other questions, contact Dr. Walsh as shown above.
