SCIENCE AND ART
“There’s often a focus on physical science as what really matters… and arts, humanities and social sciences as unimportant waffle. But the world of science does not make those other aspects irrelevant for a very simple reason: because science is done by humans using language.
Even the very latest amazing, frightening, world changing scientific research and discoveries are thought up, organised and conveyed to us using words and numbers and symbols which are hundreds of years old, even thousands of years. And they are connected to elements of the history and art and psychology and sociology of all those years.”
- the legendary Gandry Macallan.
