“We look at science as something very elite, which only a few people can learn. That’s just not true. You just have to start early and give kids a foundation. Kids live up, or down, to expectations.” 

–Mae C. Jemison (U.S. engineer, physicist and astronaut who became the first African-American woman in space)

“The brain is a three pound mass you can hold in your hand that can conceive of a universe a hundred billion light-years across.” –Marian Diamond (who discovered how environmental enrichment expanded the number of neural connections, with neurons sprouting dendritic spines to accommodate new synapses)
