Evolution: bats, radar, and science (The Remote Sensing Award Lecture)A parallel is drawn between the evolution of the bat and the evolution of the science and technology of radar and remote sensing to illustrate the importance of the role of Darwinian processes in the culture and practice of science and technology, and thus in the survival of their vitality. The lecture touches on several themes of interest to the science community, such as the relation between basic and applied science and engineering; research in academia, industry, and government laboratories; elite scientists; and the survival of a scientific institution.
