A day like this is a great way to honor the scientific ideas that are shaping the world around us. As we shape the idea so does that idea in turn shape us. Awareness of that idea helps it to grow bigger. This UN events is all about raising that awareness so that these ideas can grow bigger around the world.
Science is the way of that future. Without scientific awareness our world will not be able to sustain itself. To create a sustainable future for us all, we must all be willing to work together to achieve that goal. World science Day is the perfect event to bring together the whole world in this common purpose. All for one and one for all!
