“If you don’t understand the science, you can’t solve the problem”

“I try to use it in favor of science, for example to explain that science is not the enemy of the planet but on the contrary that the concern to save the planet is It’s by doing science and building on science that they’ll get there,” the 75-year-old teacher. “I think it’s fault what people do with science. Not science itself. If you don’t understand the science, you can’t solve the problem,” he continued.

A speech he says forgets “that’before progress of science, before the invention of antibiotics, machines to alleviate the pain of men, the situation of humanity; was much more miserable than today”.
