Sentiment: POSITIVE
I believe that not everything we humans encounter in our lives can be neatly and convincingly tucked away inside the orderly cabinetry of science.
Science is organized knowledge. Wisdom is organized life.
I believe scientists have a duty to share the excitement and pleasure of their work with the general public, and I enjoy the challenge of presenting difficult ideas in an understandable way.
The center line of science literacy - which not many people tell you, but I feel this strongly, and I will go to my grave making this point - is how you think.
Form your life humanly, and you have done enough: but you will never reach the height of art and the depth of science without something divine.
I always say that keeping abreast of science should never be seen as a chore. It should be something you do naturally. I don't sit there reading 'New Scientist,' putting post-it notes next to ideas.
I appeal to my fellow scientists to remember their responsibility to humanity.
This is the essence of all sciences - that you should know who you will be when the Day of Reckoning arrives.
Being intellectually hospitable is a virtue that I bring into the interview space.
Science is always discovering odd scraps of magical wisdom and making a tremendous fuss about its cleverness.
