We should figure out how to do this so that some parents don't feel disenfranchised, angry and upset. It says a lot about the state of where we are in the city, the role of parents and the reality of small school and combining schools.

When I was in school I liked math because all the problems had answers. Everything else seemed very subjective.

Our hypotheses are initially rooted in theoretical consistency and elegance, but...ultimatel y it is experiment not rigid belief that determines what is correct.

One of the nice things about math and science is it’s obvious, you get the answer or you don’t get the answer.

Although I was first drawn to math and science by the certainty they promised, today I find the unanswered questions and the unexpected connections at least as attractive.

I considered going into business or becoming a lawyer - not for the money, but for the thrill of problem-solving.

Basically, I wasn't properly socialized, so it made sense to do physics.
