Making a Discovery 

Pierre: How does it feel to be on the cusp of a new discovery? 

Irene: Let’s not jump the gun. We’ve made some major leaps forward, but I’m not sure I’d call what we’ve done so far revolutionary. 

Pierre: Not yet, but you’re close to a breakthrough. That’s evident. 

Irene: I think you might be overstating the case. If we do make a small breakthrough, it will only contribute to the current body of knowledge in the field, not turn the field on its head. 

Pierre: I think you’re downplaying the possible impact of such a discovery. I think you’ll be recognized as a pioneer, a real trailblazer. 

Irene: And your contribution? 

Pierre: You know what they say: Behind every great woman is a great man!
