"Great teachers... know how to present material in an enthusiastic manner and how to instill a hunger in their students to learn more on their own. They form strong relationships with their students, show that they care about them as people, and always remember that they are teaching students, not subjects".
Dr Michael C. Nagel

"The important thing in science is not so much to obtain new facts as to discover new ways of thinking about them".

Marie Curie (1867-1934)

"The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science".
Albert Einstein (1879-1955)
