I think I know what is bothering the students. I think that what we are up against is a generation that is by no means sure that it has a future.
George WaldDeath seems to have been a rather late invention in evolution. One can go a long way in evolution before encountering an authentic corpse.
George WaldI have lived much of my life among molecules. They are good company. I tell my students to try to know molecules, so well that when they have some question involving molecules, they can ask themselves, What would I do if I were that molecule? I tell them, Try to feel like a molecule; and if you work hard, who knows? Some day you may get to feel like a big molecule!
