expert that you admire

Who is a person/expert on your field that you admire?

The person that I admire is Albert Hofmann (11 january 1906-29 april 2008). He was a swiss scientist, his main interest was the chemistry of plants and animals, and he later conducted important research on the chemical structure of the common animal substance chitin, but he es better know because for being the first person to synthesize, ingest, and learn of the psychedelic effects of lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD).

When I say that admire this person, I dont try to sound like a junkie, I just had the possibility of read a book from him, titled "Insight Outlook", this book leads me on an exploration of reality perception, where our newly discovered insights are drawn into intellectual meditation. I understood that the reality is approached as a combination of subjective and objective truths, which must be unified for ultimate awareness. That is what I recover of him, the call to be openmind, not to give importance to what happens superficially, question what happens around us and seek answers.

to finish, I will quote the description of the effect experienced hofmann. "I perceived an uninterrupted stream of fantastic pictures, extraordinary shapes with intense, kaleidoscopic play of colors."
