The universe is an amazing place. It is vaster than it is possible to measure, stranger and more magical than any science fiction or fantasy, more beautiful than any art, and far more complex than can ever be imagined. Science is beautiful when it makes simple explanations of phenomena or connections between different observations. New discoveries in science will continue to create a thousand new frontiers for those who still would adventure. Life sciences have changed enormously: new disciplines, such as genomic and metabolomic technologies, have revolutionized the descriptive and normative power wielded by these disciplines.
