Imagine being the person who can “talk to countrymen by the manners of countrymen, and with the scholarly person in Latin.” This skill was praised in a 1905 classical poem by Swedish writer Erik Axel Karlfeldt—and it is particularly valid for specialists whose expertise, while essential, can often create a barrier between them and people less informed about their subject. But even within expert communities, cultural divides arise based on background, profession, priorities, and values. This was famously raised by British physical chemist and fiction writer C. P. Snow. In May 1959, he addressed the Senate House at Cambridge University in a lecture that soon became a book: The Two Cultures and the Scientific Revolution. Snow argued that intellectual life had split into two camps: science and the humanities.
