“A lot of brilliant creative people are wasting their time in science communication, when they could be teaching.”
Mark Henderson, The Geek Manifesto: Why Science Matters to Government

“It’s not unethical to do experiments in education. It is unethical not to.’ – Sir Mark Walport, Director of the Wellcome Trust”
Mark Henderson, The Geek Manifesto: Why science matters

“Suppose we find that the more often people consult astrologers or psychics, the longer they live,’ she might begin. ‘Why might that be true?’27 Her students start to suggest ideas. Most know that astrologers and psychics can’t actually predict the future, but perhaps they might make people feel better about themselves, with benefits for their health. Maybe healthier people, or people who have already lived long lives, are more likely to believe in the paranormal. After a while, someone will eventually come up with the most probable explanation: women go to psychics and astrologers more often than men, and also live longer.”
