I honestly believe that most think 'science' is supposed to be a concrete, one-answer discipline.  When I'm asked by other students what I major in and I tell them about my courses, the most common remark afterwards is, 'you must be good at getting answers.'  That's not at all what science is, and I didn't realize how big of a stigmatism science held until I began working with Paul and Wil.  The fact that science is just as much a working story as is history, english or philosophy needs to be brought into the light at a younger age.  I honestly believe that the fact that science is 'taught' to be concrete at an early age discourages many individuals who are not confident in themselves to achieve only one answer and may instead prefer discussing many conclusions.  I think it's a concept that should be discussed at all periods of life, and I think it's important to understand and accept science as a story comparable to a journey: it's the journey that matters, not the end.
