Public Outreach & Education has to be grounded in speaking to the real experience of people and connected to the heart & spirit.

Science is a social activity reflecting human values including curiosity, creativity, integrity & skepticism.

Science does not purvey the truth, science is a mechanism. It's a way of trying to improve your knowledge of nature. it's a system for testing your thoughts against the universe and seeing whether they match. Issac Asimov

Don't be arrogant; arrogance kills creativity. Always ask what else could be discovered. There is no finish line.........
