which is awesome because it shows that they know who to get excited about science -young, tech-savvy people who aren't too jaded (or just jaded enough) to give an f about science and the great things we're accomplishing as a species

instead of watching my super sweet 16 and drinking a quart of coke and eating chick-fil-a.

when I was a kid the only kid we knew who was into science wore matching clothes with glow-in-the-dark dinoaurs and planets on them that kind of looked like pyjamas that his mom made

he was weird and awkward and bought me books on pascal and pong for my birthday when I was in elementary (because back then you invited the whole class)

and I totally didn't get the cool knowledge he was trying to impart on me until I was older and watched The Cosmos and developing an obsession with carl sagan and technology and science

so, sorry guy.

but hopefully kids these days won't be dumb like I was and not start to care about science until we're older because we have cool guys like Neil deGrasse Tyson and NASA Mohawk Guy and the twitter team creeping into the IRL world to let peeps know that it's cool to be interested in science and do big, great, ambitious things
so check out their AMA and learn yrself a thing or two

cause science is fucking cool.
