Abstract

Robert Williams Wood viewed the natural world as his playground. For him, science was a highly creative endeavor to be approached with curiosity and awe. Wood was also a scientific maverick who questioned all dogmas. Above all, he was an experimentalist: He tested conclusions, built his own apparatuses, and was excited about every part of the process.
