Quote of the Summer, Recap edition

Posted on 09:38 by hony
“If you are scientifically literate the world looks very different to you. It's not just a lot of mysterious things happening. There is a lot we understand out there. And that understanding empowers you to, first, not be taken advantage of by others who do understand it. And second there are issues that confront society that have science as their foundation. If you are scientifically illiterate, in a way, you are disenfranchising yourself from the democratic process, and you don’t even know it.” -Neil deGrasse Tyson, July 3 2009
