Trusting science

Worth listening to
If someone asks you for your opinion it means that they value what you have to say. It means they consider you to be someone worth listening to. That is something you earn, it's not a given.

The difference between right and wrong
Right now there are a lot of discussions about what is right and wrong. More often than not we consider it to be black and white.

Robin Hood was known for stealing from the rich … Continue reading The difference between right and wrong
