EO Wilson: Letter to a Young Scientist

Friday, 29 June, 2012

EO Wilson delivers is a simply fabulous lecture over at TED. Titled “Letter to a Young Scientist”, it implores young people to understand the importance of science to our global future, take on the exciting mantle that science offers, enjoy the ground breaking work you can undertake and above all don’t become obsessive about maths. Science is about being creative, finding unexplored regions of (unknown) knowledge (run from the sound of the gun) and working in teams that can crack hard problems. It’s fulfilling and the vastness of scientific subjects means that anyone can find a home.
