1. Put a Little Science In Your Life by Brian Greene (5 polnts) When we consider the ubiquity of cellphones, iPods, personal computers and the Internet, it's easy to see how science (and the technology to which it leads) is woven into the fabric of our day-to- day activities. When we benefit from CT scanners, M. R.I. devices, pacemakers and arterial stents, we can immediately appreciate how sclenco affects the quality of our lives. When we assess the state of the world, and Identify looming challenges like cllmate change, global pandemics, security threats and diminishing resources, we don't hesitate In turning to science to gauge the problems and find solutions. And when we look at the wealth of opportunities hovering on the horizon-stem cells, genomic sequencing, personalized medicine, longevity research, nanoscience, brain-machine interface, quantum computers, space technology–we realize how crucial it is to cultivate a general public that can engage with scientific issues, there's simply no other way that as a society we will be prepared to make Informed decisions on a range of Issues that will shape the future."
