The New Old Science

I particularly liked Dennis Overbye's essay in today's NY Times. The values he attributes to the scientific method – honesty, doubt, respect for evidence, openness, accountability and tolerance and indeed hunger for opposing points of view – are all values I hold dear to my heart, and are among the values I saw President Obama embodying during his campaign.

We can have no crystal ball to tell us where all this change will lead. Life itself is a kind of scientific experiment, and I must remain open to the possibilities this moment may bring to me.
