biology main people science talk teach
We talk about the Internet. That comes from science. Weather forecasting. That comes from science. The main idea in all of biology is evolution. To not teach it to our young people is wrong.
billion global kid missed population roll
As a kid at the World's Fair in 1965, I missed seeing the big global population clock roll over from 2,999,999,999 to 3 billion - I was really disappointed.
coat shows sports strongly
When one shows up in jeans and a T-shirt, I strongly feel that the audience reacts in a very different way than when you show up in a sport coat and a tie.
interesting commencement commencement-speech
Everyone you will ever meet knows something you don't.
motivational middle-of-nowhere specks
We are just a speck, on a speck, orbiting a speck, in the corner of a speck, in the middle of nowhere.
running believe keys
Science is the key to our future, and if you don’t believe in science, then you’re holding everybody back. And it’s fine if you as an adult want to run around pretending or claiming that you don’t believe in evolution, but if we educate a generation of people who don’t believe in science, that’s a recipe for disaster. We talk about the Internet. That comes from science. Weather forecasting. That comes from science. The main idea in all of biology is evolution. To not teach it to our young people is wrong.
cycling work-out car
Bicycling is a big part of the future. It has to be. There's something wrong with a society that drives a car to work out in a gym.

Science is the best thing humans beings have ever come up with. And if it isn't, science will fix it.

If you look back on all the teachers that you liked, I am sure you will find they were very entertaining.
travel shadow fiction
When we see the shadow on our images, are we seeing the time 11 minutes ago on Mars? Or are we seeing the time on Mars as observed from Earth now? It's like time travel problems in science fiction. When is now; when was then?
philosophy thinking discovery
The philosophy of science is inherent in the process. This is to say, you think critically, you draw a conclusion based on evidence, but we all pursue discovery based on our observations. That's where science starts.
technology dangerous-situations breathing
The most serious problem facing humankind is climate change. All of these people breathing and burning our atmosphere has led to an extraordinarily dangerous situation. I hope next generation will emerge and produce technology, regulations, and a worldview that enable as many of us as possible to live happy healthy lives.
