“Popular media indicate the pervasive pre-occupation with politics, economics, sports and celebrity while the reality is that the most powerful force shaping our lives and society today is science when applied by industry, medicine and the military. To be scientifically illiterate means forfeiting any input into the future to which we are heading.” – David Suzuki, science broadcaster and environmental activist.
