I used to work at NASA in Virginia. It was nothing glamorous; I was just tasked with making code compile for obscure projects, and I wasn’t very good at it.

Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words can make me think I deserved it Picture Quote #1

I read comics and I did science, and never really put them together until I accidentally found myself in the middle of one Picture Quote #1

There are so many adventures that you miss because you’re waiting to think of a plan. To find them, look for tiny interesting choices. And remember that you are always making up the future as you go Picture Quote #1

You don’t use science to show you’re right, you use science to become right Picture Quote #1

I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work

Take wrong turns. Talk to strangers. Open unmarked doors. And if you see a group of people in a field, go find out what they are doing. Do things without always knowing how they’ll turn out. You’re curious and smart and bored, and all you see is the choice between working hard and slacking off. There are so many adventures that you miss because you’re waiting to think of a plan. To find them, look for tiny interesting choices. And remember that you are always making up the future as you go Picture Quote #1

I learned very early on in life that not everyone wants to hear every fact in the world, even if you want to tell them everything you’ve ever read Picture Quote #1
