To fix the sentence, change "," after 2004 to ";" and remove the "and" before scientists. It makes the sentence sound better.
I hope that helps!
The sentence had repetitive words replaced with synonyms and pronouns. "but my father disliked..." is too much alike to "my father disliked" so it would get tedious and harder to read.
They replaced it with "but he hated ... " to get some variation.
