Introduction
To plagarize Will Rogers, I never met a science I didn't like.
What is one science site you have never visited but would like to?
No answer yet
What is the most important problem today's science should solve?
People's lack of knowledge and wisdom is at the foundation of our most serious global problems-poverty, hunger, climate change, species extinction, and so on. Science must find the knowledge and technology must make it available to all people.
Who are your scientific heroes or role models?
Johanes Kepler & Albert Einstein. Kepler because he was a brilliant scientist whose tragedy was an all too human dedication to a bad idea. Einstein because he had the good fortune to be humbled and wizened by the mysteries he was blessed to see.
What turns you on about science?
Everything--It's so damn interesting!
What are your favorite resources for keeping abreast of general science?
TED.com, FORA.tv, NPR, Scientific American and other mainstream magazines I'm too embarassed to say I read for science knowledge
