Touch a scientist and you touch a child.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
We've made science experiments of ourselves and our children.
Science is what scientists do.
Mainly I study the sense of touch and what the molecules are that transduce touch. And I use mutants in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans to look at that problem.
While the sciences are hugely important, let us not leave behind a child's imagination.
We explore our environment, more than we are compelled to utter poetry, when we're toddlers. We start doing that later. Before that happens, every child is a scientist.
When I was a child, it was cool to be a scientist.
I'm not just a scientist.
I am not a scientist. I am, rather, an impresario of scientists.
If you just, pretty much, take a random 15-month-old, just sit and watch them for 10 minutes and count out how many experiments, how much thinking you see going on, and it will put the most brilliant scientist to shame.
Kids are natural scientists.
