Konstantin Novoselov : 💬 The problem with scientific research is that we teach our students physics, biology, chemistry, but we don’t teach them science. Science is a very special trade: we are trying to learn something we don’t know, and sometimes we don’t even know if it exists.

Everything is connected
We still don’t understand how complex systems find the pathway out of chaos and emerge from randomness. Understanding this pathway may lead us toward understanding the origin of life.
