A Moment of Science

Breaking the cycle of unengaged children who grow up to be unengaged adults may be very difficult, but I strongly suspect that focusing on the pure joy of science might make a difference. We need to make sure that when we find that budding passion, we help it grow. Don't crush it, don't ignore it, don't belittle it. Whether it's in a child or an adult, cultivate it. That one person may share their newfound enthusiasm with dozens of others, maybe even hundreds or thousands, if the circumstances are right. We can?t expect kids to learn to love science just by sitting in a classroom every day, just as a child doesn?t become a lifelong bookworm by reading only assignments. Tomorrow?s scientists may discover their calling in the classroom, or in a museum, or out with friends, or any place science has an impact.
