 Don't Become a Scientist!
If you go to graduate school in science it is in the expectation of spending your working life doing scientific research, using your ingenuity and curiosity to solve important and interesting problems.
Science is a profession, not a religious vocation, and does not justify an oath of poverty or celibacy.
The longer you spend in science the harder you will find it to leave, and the less attractive you will be to prospective employers in other fields.

 Notes on
As science becomes possible as its possibility is accepted on faith, so also the knowledge of God's existence becomes a reality as we accept it on faith and test it.
The posture of science in which openness to the created structure is emphasized represents the passive aspects of science: here effort is made to allow the structure to impress itself upon us.
Science is not, therefore, somehow different from all other human activities, but must also start with an act of faith and of personal commitment.

However, with evolution of science and the advent of uncertainty theory and quantum science, it became clear that matter could not be understood in isolation of mind and consciousness.
Science evolved from the study of interaction of matter to the interaction of fields and concluded that quantum fields is the physical reality and this physical reality, arises from a unified field.
Unbridled gullibility can destroy science, but unbridled skepticism is no less a threat because it brings both the excessive preservation of the status quo and the supression of unconventional ideas.

Anthropology and science fiction often present data and ideas so bizarre and unusual that readers, in their first confrontation with both, often fail to appreciate either science fiction or anthropology.
I have been reading and thinking about science fiction for more years than I care to count and I seem to be writing/discussing science fiction with a variety of individuals since 1973.
Good science fiction, with the appropriate presentation, data, and ideas, tries to encourage the reader to cultivate an awareness of potential futures, for possible changes in the present.

 Science Digest, April 1976
Even with complete cooperation on Geller's part, the fact is that the brain still presents an enormous puzzle to science.
Either a satisfactory explanation must be given for his phenomenon within the framework of accepted scientific knowledge, or science will be found seriously wanting.
Since such an explanation appears to some to be impossible, either now or in the fu- ture, they argue that the Geller phe- nomenon is incompatible with scientific truth, and that the value of reason and the scientific point of view is therefore an illusion.

Last week Sweden's Royal Academy of Sciences honored three Americans whose discoveries have advanced this understanding.
It awarded the 1976 Nobel Prize in Physics to Burton Richter of Stanford University and Samuel C.C. Ting of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology for their investigations of subatomic particles, and gave the chemistry prize to William Lipscomb of Harvard University for his work in explaining the structure of the chemicals called boranes.
For Richter, 45, and Ting, 40, who will share the $162,140 physics award, recognition came much sooner than to most Nobel laureates, who often wait a decade or longer before the importance of their work is acknowledged by the Royal Academy.
