“I wonder how Feynman would feel if he had to be talking to not just a few nuts of this kind but e.g. to 2,500 similar nuts who would be moreover described by the media as good scientists, if not the best ones in the world. ;-) Good for him that he managed to die in time.” IfsWorldFeelsKindWould BeDiesTalkingWonderMediaScientistNuts Author:Lubos Motl

“I had two competing ambitions when I was a child: I wanted to be a Scientist and Discover Great Things, but I also wanted to be an Author and Write Great Things. I've always tried to combine the analytical with the creative, to some extent or another, because I find it hard to do one without the other. I've worked as a tech journalist, social media consultant, and now am self-publishing fiction.” WritingChildrenTwoSelfHardWantedSocialFictionCreativeMediaAmbitionScientistSocial MediaGreat ThingsJournalistPublishingCompetingConsultants Author:Suw Charman-Anderson
“There are a lot of very religious scientists around. I think the problem here is that in our school systems, and to some degree - and this is where it is relevant - with school boards around the country that are mandating curriculums and textbooks, you start seeing this weird watering down of scientific fact so that our kids are growing up in an environment - and this connects to what I was saying earlier abou the media - where everything's contested. Where nothing is true.” ThinkingCountryFactsProblemKidsSchoolReligiousGrowing UpEnvironmentGrowingSeeingMediaDegreesScientistBoardsRelevantTextbooksCurriculumSchool SystemScientific FactsSchool Board Author:Barack Obama
