The world celebrated Earth Day a couple weeks ago on Saturday, April 22 with more than just environmental projects.
More than 600 cities across the world marched for science on Earth Day with a goal to support and advocate for science and scientists.
What a coincidence the week after a global march celebrating science, Clarkston held an award ceremony to celebrate exceptional students interested in science.
These events not only show the importance of science in the world and this country, but also in this community, and every community.
Scientists should be some of the most well respected people in society.
They cure diseases, research ways to make the world a better place, dedicate their lives to the pursuit of truth and even send people to the moon.
With accomplishments such as these, it astounds me that people don’t take the subject more seriously and don’t trust the word of scientists.
These men and women know more about the effects of vaccinations and dangers of global warming than the average person, politician and parent.
Young students always seem to have such an enthusiasm for science, excited to do experiments and learn about the world around them.
Why can’t the average adult have a similar mindset?
Though English has always been my main focus, I’ve always been intrigued by science, from the stars in the night sky to the layers of the Earth.
Science is a true unbiased form of fact, though it can be manipulated, false research can’t be readily repeated or replicated.
The sciences have this wonderful ability to solve the mysteries of life and improve the quality of life in an unbelievable way.
Any discipline that’s able to help people, and anyone who studies that discipline, deserves to have their thoughts, ideas, theories and actual proven facts believed and respected.
