It's critical that people see science for what it is, an all-pervasive element in society. If we can make science less intimidating, we'd do a great service.
- Brian Greene, physicist
The World Science Festival shines a
light on the connections between modern science and the world we live in.
- Heidi Hammel, planetary scientist
The World Science Festival is a celebration of the infant human
species looking at its mother universe
and seeing her for the first time.
- Jim Gates, physicist
What mysteries of the cosmos still lie hidden? Lucky youngsters who grow up and become scientists. They will know more than we do.
- Vera Rubin, astronomer
Scientists are the deeper poets of the wonders of nature. They dazzle us not
just with her surface beauties, but also
with the glories of her inner and most
intimate workings.
- Alan Alda
Immerse yourself in a world of

The World Science Festival aims to
spark a movement in which science shifts
from the cultural outskirts to the
cultural center.
- Brian Greene, physicist
Science has become an integral part of modern life and contemporary culture. This is what the World Science Festival celebrates and explicates.
- Eric Kandel, neurobiologist
Great science, like great art,
belongs to the whole of humanity.
- Jim Gates, physicist
One hundred years ago, no one knew what a galaxy was. I often wonder what questions astronomers will be asking of the Universe a hundred years from now.
- Vera Rubin, astronomer
Warning Label: The World Science Festival can make your jaw drop.

I've spoken to kids and told them about the big bang, black holes, and quantum mysteries - to see their eyes light up, there's nothing like it. You can see a whole new world opening up to them.
- Brian Greene, physicist
The greatest threat I can conceive to
the long-term survival of the human
species would be the decision not to
pursue science.
- Jim Gates, physicist
It is essential that everyone have
access to the best scientific information
in clear and understandable form.
- Eric Kandel, neurobiologist
Science is all around us - we are surrounded by science, we interact
with it.
- Heidi Hammel, planetary scientist
Whether they sweep out beyond the sky
or deep into a speck of dust - scientists are adventurers who take us with them to worlds we never knew existed.
