I thought our triple bottom line was science, technology and community support. It seems the (triple bottom line) concept has gone to a purely economic framework.

We knew we had the support of the community, but we never thought we would be able to raise all of that, even half of that.

Since the invention of the microprocessor, the cost of moving a byte of information around has fallen on the order of 10-million-fold. Never before in the human history has any product or service gotten 10 million times cheaper-much less in the course of a couple decades. That's as if a 747 plane, once at $150 million a piece, could now be bought for about the price of a large pizza.

Live TV died in the late 1950s, electronic bulletin boards came along in the mid-1980s, meaning there was about a 25-year gap when it was difficult to put your foot in your mouth and have people all across the country know about it.

I would absolutely not support this if I thought it was just an in-your-face thing against the labels,

We support leading scientists who make concrete and crucial contributions to the innovation of science and technology.
