Science is very cross-generational; you're not just aiming it at twentysomethings, or eightysomethings. Every town's got a really broad selection of people and age groups interested in science.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Science shouldn't be just for scientists, and there are encouraging signs that it is becoming more pervasive in culture and the media.
Science is an enterprise that should be cherished as an activity of the free human mind. Because it transforms who we are, how we live, and it gives us an understanding of our place in the universe.
Science is international: the best scientists can come from anywhere; they can come from next door, or they can come from a small village in a country anywhere in the world - we need to make it easier.
If you look at the history of our country over the last 100 years, there have been periods where science and research have been celebrated. They were really kind of held up as heroes in society, which encouraged a generation of people to go into these fields.
Science is a perception of the world around us. Science is a place where what you find in nature pleases you.
The idea that science is just some luxury that you'll get around to if you can afford it is regressive to any future a country might dream for itself.
My childhood and adolescence were filled with visiting scientists from both India and abroad, many of whom would stay with us. A life of science struck me as being both interesting and particularly international in its character.
I really like science because it seems to be that place where you get the big picture, everything connects.
I am often amazed at how much more capability and enthusiasm for science there is among elementary school youngsters than among college students.
To my disappointment, not many young people seem to be interested in science, especially chemistry.
