I found this in the preface to one of my YNP geology guide books this weekend...
"I am convinced that, at it's best, science is simple - that the simplest arrangement of facts that sets forth the truth best deserves the term science. So the [geology] I plead for is that which states facts in plain words - in language understood by the many rather than by the few."
George Otis Smith, Director of USGS 1907-1930
I liked this because I am trying to share science with many, to get beyond this language barrier that can be intimidating. So go have fun exploring the world this summer with your kids.
