“From children we have a natural inquisitiveness about the world around us. Scientists study nature, from microbes, to the plants and animals around us, and beyond to other planets, stars, and galaxies. The sciences and mathematics can be applied to calculating risk for insurance companies, medical professions, or to a host of scientific, technical, and engineering fields.”
