The influence of a science adviser is only as good as ears open to that science advice.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Science is not inherently good.
There's a danger of some of the best people saying, 'I don't want a career in science.'
A great scientist is more open to a new idea than almost anybody.
Science isn't just for scientists - it's not just a training for careers.
People don't generally listen to scientists much.
Scientists tend to be skeptical, but the weakness of the community of science is that it tends to move into preformed establishment modes that say this is the only way of doing science, the only valid view.
Science has everything to say about what is possible. Science has nothing to say about what is permissible.
There cannot be any impediment to science that will ultimately be good to the general public.
Is there anything science should not try to explain? Science is knowledge and knowledge is power - power to do good or evil. Sometimes ignorance is bliss.
Science knows only one commandment - contribute to science.
