So scientists also tend to get famous when they're much older.

So they hosted and funded this meeting.

I'd like to thank everybody, all the scientists, the philosophers, the architects, the inventors, the biologists, the botanists, the artists ... everyone that blew my mind this week.

He is a biologist.

And that's Richard Feynman.

So we started the company.

I'm just a designer. So I need them.

Again and again in nature, from the very most ancient bacteria to more recent species, they go through a juvenile phase of hostile competition to establish themselves,

Over 40 years ago, I was cloning stem cells and one of the first experiments just so blew my mind

But then, in the '90s, something began to unravel.

And we're letting industry run the show.

This is our paleobotanist, Dr...

I'm a paleontologist who collects fossils.

It reminds me of my college days.

Nye Ah, good.

That is, I'm not a clinician,

I mean, if a bunch of experts come to me and say,

Keep that in mind.

In fact, we're more closely related to fungi than we are to any other kingdom.

We don't consume 200 year old cows or chickens.

. ..mathematics, logic, physics, geology and bi ology?

No instead, we walk a mile in their shoes.

(Laughter)

One more subject.

(Laughter)

He's a biologist at Veta La Palma.

But what about accidental death?

I'd love to have an opinion of a paleobotanist as well.

To get this far in our understanding of these things it took the combined effort of mathematicians, physicists, botanists and biochemists, and we've certainly learned a lot, but there's much more to be discovered.

And think of the outside world.

I've been requested by someone who's starting an economics

I spoke to a biologist at the Kirstenbosch Botanical Garden in Capetown to ask him where he thought this remarkable plant came from, and his thought was that if you travel around Namibia, you see that there are a number of petrified forests, and the logs are all the logs are all giant coniferous trees, and yet there's no sign of where they might have come from.

Now when people ask this kind of question, they neglect something, which is that physicists are really clever, unlike biologists.

You know, skiers pray for snow?

The live duck mounted the dead duck, and started to copulate.

But what I wound up doing was bringing space scientists with us into the deep.

And the training center there was built around the scientific Congolese staff and some American scientists also.

Biology and Algebra.

Is biology special?

I am almost extinct

I'm already out of time, but this is Michael Wigler, a very, very clever mathematician turned physicist.

I took my degree in biology.

Now, mathematicians have been hiding and writing messages in the genetic code for a long time, but it's clear they were mathematicians and not biologists because, if you write long messages with the code that the mathematicians developed, it would more than likely lead to new proteins being synthesized with unknown functions.

Amit Goswami PhD, Theoretical Quantum Physicist In science, we started as Newtonian physicists, and we started pretending like we are machines, and that was the worldview for some time.

We need not just campaigning physicists, but we need biologists, computer experts and environmentalists as well.
