I am sure my fellow-scientists will agree with me if I say that whatever we were able to achieve in our later years had its origin in the experiences of our youth and in the hopes and wishes which were formed before and during our time as students.

My point is that perceptual bias can affect nut jobs and scientists alike. If we hold too rigidly to what we think we know we ignore or avoid evidence of anything that might change our mind.

Now that women are jockeys baseball umpires atomic scientists and business executives maybe someday they can master parallel parking.

Most executives many scientists and almost all business school graduates believe that if you analyze data this will give you new ideas. Unfortunately this belief is totally wrong. The mind can only see what it is prepared to see.

Being in an area of the planet where scientists believe mankind started is quite amazing.

The human body and mind are tremendous forces that are continually amazing scientists and society. Therefore we have no choice but to keep an open mind as to what the human being can achieve.

The athlete of today is not an athlete alone. He's the center of a team - doctors scientists coaches agents and so on.
