Andoni Garritz Ruiz
chemist · teacher · father · in memoriam
He wrote many books and many articles.
More than anything, he showed us the way.
He taught us that
- science is a human enterprise — never a catalogue of facts.
- a good model is a gift to the student — never a display of knowledge.
- to teach anything new, one must first honour what the student already believes is true.
- curiosity is sacred — guard it above all efficiency.
- what cannot be taught with affection cannot be taught at all.
He taught in the classroom,
we created a laboratory in data science.
