In many ways, Bose failed to promote his work. Admirably, he had no desire to get rich from his inventions (or patent them). But in some regards, his failure to promote his achievements (eg. in semiconductors) was an epic failure -- the semiconductor revolution could (should?) have happened decades earlier than it did. Genius is admirable, but communication and promotion are just as key for academics -- Bose is a great example of this!
