VIEWPOINT ON SCIENCE

The science and technology ecosystem must encourage creativity from a young age. The research environment must include a robust innovation component. It is the responsibility of the government and society to nurture talent, whether in arts, sports or science and technology. And it is the duty of every citizen to maximize his competence in the service of society. This requires character. The definition of character, however, is not easy. It means integrity, it means perseverance in the face of adversity, and it means pursuit of excellence. It also means commitment of justice and social equity.
