The beauty of Science in society today – and why you should care.
I am writing the book “Dream Big and Impact – but how?”. In this book, I will dedicate an entire part of science and technology.
For the inspiration and the support of my ideas, I decided to interview 10 scientists and learn from their experiences. How and why you should care about science 👇👇👇👇
How?
How can you improve your interest in science? Or how can you motivate your kids to pursue science?
The secret is not to expose them to science – but to train their mind / your mind to ask the right questions.
“ Why is the water so clear? Because we purify it with porous minerals”
“ Why is our grandfather going to the hospital? Because he gets drug to change how the fluid is working in the body – affecting cells and proteins.”
“ Why do I pee yellow and sometimes transparent?”
Because you remove the toxins of your body that your body won’t want to have.
“ Why do we put gasoline in the car?” Because we can’t put water; the liquid as to explode. Water can’t explode under compressions, so we have to find another fluid.
“ Why is there global warming “ Because we produce more energy than the world can handle.
“ Why do everyone buy hand sanitizers? Because the liquid destroys the composition of the Virus. And we don’t get the coronavirus 😉 “
Following www.compoundchem.com is a great start to be scientifically inspired.
Why?
Science can solve almost every problem on earth. Some recent exciting research which will transform our lives. Some examples:
- Curing Blindness using CRISPR-Technology
- Hacking your body using the reprogrammation of the cells: curing cancer or to remove inflammation (stem cells therapies)
- Harvesting energy from the oceans with polymers
- Making your shoes from the plastics in the oceans.
- Using fuels from algae instead of oil.
- Using batteries with aluminum instead of cobalt.
- Etc…
When we think about a scientist, we think about someone in the lab – like a prison. However, in some cases, science can lead to freedom.
Studying one topic can learn to many industries. For instance, artificial muscle (a polymer made of silicon), can lead to tons of applications; from medicine with heart valves to entertainment with gloves we use for VR games. Therefore, you are never stuck in one particular industry. You could potentially change every 5 years and focus on different topics. Plus; with a scientific background, you can do any other job in society such as being president (Angela Merkel) or a businessman; investor, communicator.
