“We live in an age based on science and technology with formidable technological powers and if we don’t understand it, [...] then who’s making all the decisions about science and technology that are going to determine what kind of a future our children live in? Just some members of congress? But there’s no more than a handful of members of congress with any background in science at all, and this combustible mixture of ignorance and power sooner or later is going to blow up in our faces. I mean, who is running the science and technology in a democracy if the people don’t know anything about it?”.
