50 Good reasons to study science...

Key word: Questioning

"'Why you should study science' - because you can methodologically carryout investigations, critically analyse the outcomes, and conclude the answers to ALL questions starting with 'WHY'"

Dr. S.D.Sivasubramaniam, Lecturer in pharmacology, Melton Mowbray (originally from Sri Lanka)
(Subject: PhD Biomedical Sciences)

"When you study science, you are covering ground that others have already covered. The logical connections are already understood by others - and your study of the material involves making those connections for yourself - to form a coherent picture in your own mind. You must be willing to explore - take an idea or question and examine it, see where it came from, turn it over and look underneath it, pull it apart if necessary and examine its components. Then reassemble it and see how it fits with other ideas."

Ron Brown, Physics Lecturer, USA

"The most beautiful experience we can have is the mysterious - the fundamental emotion which stands at the cradle of true art and true science."

Albert Einstein Quote taken from 'Living Philosophies', 1931

"Studying science is great for the curious minded, if you have ever wondered why "something is" studying science can enable you to find the answer!"

Clare Joyner, Lawyer, Switzerland
(Subject: Chemistry)
