Science, Engineering, and Life
Science never evolves alone. Instead, the interchangable pattern exist between science, engineering and our life. Science is driven by curiosity, which is generated during our life, and linked together by engineering.
"Size": Big or Small
In today's complex landscape, challenges span across multiple scales in a multi-dimensional space. Macroscopic events often have their origins in microscopic interactions. Understanding these finer details often requires a top-down approach, emphasizing that neither the vast expanse of BIG science nor the intricate details of SMALL science operate in isolation. Instead, they work in tandem, propelling us toward new scientific discoveries.
Impact: Long or Short
Science makes a difference not only within its community but also profoundly influences human society and our interpretation of the world. Its impacts can be immediate or long-lasting. Some long-term impacts arise from groundbreaking discoveries, while others emerge from the gradual evolution of scientific thought. In my view, merely chasing the impact of science isn't the proper approach. Instead, a relentless dedication to continuous discovery is essential.
