尼科·丁伯根总是觉得有些地方不对劲，因为他能够把自己职业生涯的大部分时间花在做他非常喜欢的事情上：观察和拍摄动物，并试图找出行为和进化之间的相互作用。在《好奇的自然主义者》（Tinbergen，1958）的结尾，他为自己的活动写了一段优美的辩护：“在我看来，没有人需要为对自然的好奇而感到羞愧。甚至可以说，这就是他的大脑，对自然和对自己的最大侮辱莫过于对自然漠不关心。有些职业的地位肯定要低得多。”作为对他所拥有的兴奋和乐趣的回报，Niko觉得他对公众负有义务，最终，为他的工作买单。在他的职业生涯中，他非常重视向公众传播他的研究成果。他说：“我试图让我的学生记住，他们的一半工作是沟通。科学是一种社会努力，科学家必须适应公众。如果人们不想读你的作品，你的全部努力，以及投入其中的所有资金都将付诸东流。(Hall，1974）。
Niko Tinbergen always felt that something was wrong because he was able to spend much of his professional life doing things that he enjoyed enormously: watching and photographing animals, and trying to work out the interaction between behaviour and evolution. He wrote an elegant justification of his activities near the end of ‘Curious naturalists’ (Tinbergen, 1958):‘It seems to me that no man need be ashamed of being curious about nature. It could even be argued that this is what he got his brains for and that no greater insult to nature and to oneself is possible than to be indifferent to nature. There are occupations of decidedly lesser standing.’In return for the excitement and fun he was having, Niko felt that he had an obligation to the public who, ultimately, paid for his work. Throughout his professional life, he placed a very high value on communicating the results of his studies to the general public. He said ‘I try to impress on my students that half their work is communication. Science is a social effort, and scientists must adjust to the public. If people don’t want to read your work, your whole effort, and all the money that went into it has been lost.’ (Hall, 1974).
