My role as a scientist

One reason why I write and maintain this blog is in part because of my role in TerreWEB at UBC.  There are many reasons for why I decided to continue on in school, but few can be as adequately described as done by Neil Degrasse Tyson.  I also believe this is one of the underlying motives for TerreWEB and many other researchers alike.  It is more then communicating science.  It is about improving scientific literacy.
