A lot of high-level scientists are in fact people of almost universal interest.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
A great scientist is more open to a new idea than almost anybody.
The fact is all of the most highly successful scientists I know work practically all the time.
One could not be a successful scientist without realizing that, in contrast to the popular conception supported by newspapers and mothers of scientists, a goodly number of scientists are not only narrow-minded and dull, but also just stupid.
Scientists need to be prepared to engage, and the best people to engage with are students, ideally from primary school because there's no question that their capacity to work out complex things is extremely good.
One of the wonders of science is that it is completely universal. It crosses national boundaries with total ease.
People don't generally listen to scientists much.
I get a sense that we've all been educated into one school of thought. I'm not surprised at all to find among the overwhelming majority of scientists, are people who would hold one particular view because that's all they're exposed to.
Science is far from the center of the world for most people: even for many with highly sophisticated tastes, interests, and accomplishments.
Scientists tend to be unappreciated in the world at large, but you can hardly overstate the importance of the work they do.
It is not easy to imagine how little interested a scientist usually is in the work of any other, with the possible exception of the teacher who backs him or the student who honors him.
