Some people may view him as stubborn, but to me, Dr. Mario Beauregard stick to his belief when the majority is not with him is really an fascinated experience for me to heard. I was really glad to know someone like him, not giving up and continues to drive toward his success with him curiously in the science field.

I truly thought that during 21st century is where all the researches were finished and people learned all about the small details. But after this interview, Dr. Mario Beauregard opened my eyes to a whole new universe that I haven’t discover!

Barry uses allusions to the works of famous scientists to show that even the greats from the past have the same characteristics of questioning everything that successful scientists today have. John M. Barry first alludes to a great psychologist from the nineteenth century named Claude Bernard who “said ‘science teaches us to doubt’” (Barry). By referencing Claude Bernard, Barry shows the audience that scientists doubting themselves is not a new concept.…

I like how Delgado transitioned into the main points by briefly discussing the history of doubt and ill judgement of science as a whole.…
