"If you think you are too small to make a
difference, try sleeping in a closed room with a mosquito" (African
Proverb).
"My father rode a camel, I drive a car, my son flies a jet. His son
will ride a camel" (Saudi Arabian saying)
"The kernel of the scientific outlook is the refusal to regard our own desires, tastes, and interests as affording a key to the understanding of the world." (Bertrand Russel in "The place of Science in A Liberal Education")
I am contributing to the ATLAS and
OPAL
collaborations.
