Welcome...to Jurassic Park!

Let's Be Clear: All Professions Look Bad In The Movies. And There's A Good Reason For This. Movies Don't Portray Career Paths, They Conscript Interesting Lifestyles To Serve A Plot. So Lawyers Are All Unscrupulous And Doctors Are All Uncaring. Psychiatrists Are All Crazy, And Politicians Are All Corrupt. All Cops Are Psychopaths, And All Businessmen Are Crooks. Even Moviemakers Come Off Badly: Directors Are Megalomaniacs, Actors Are Spoiled Brats. Since All Occupations Are Portrayed Negatively, Why Expect Scientists To Be Treated Differently?

In Any Case, You Read With Exasperation Or Amusement The Multiple Errors In A Story-and Then Turn The Page To National Or International Affairs, And Read With Renewed Interest As If The Rest Of The Newspaper Was Somehow More Accurate About Far-off Palestine Than It Was About The Story You Just Read. You Turn The Page, And Forget What You Know.

Science Is The Business Of Generating Testable Hypotheses.

They Didn't Understand What They Were Doing. I'm Afraid That Will Be On The Tombstone Of The Human Race.

No Man Is So Good As To Be Free From All Evil, Nor So Bad As To Be Worth Nothing.
