Fraser Stoddart

Dreams are that nano will provide this brave new world for young people to explore in a way that has been denied to young people in science and engineering for maybe a century or more. It’s a breath of fresh air. It’s really winding the clock back in a sense to the century before last when people were experiencing a broad, wide range of human knowledge. We are now bringing this back again as part of our being. We’re no longer thinking in terms of as a specialist but as generalist, and as interdisciplinary groups. It’s the bringing together of many people to achieve common goals.

I guess the nightmare is the opposite of this. Somehow we have been fashioned to think in boxes and to keep to ourselves, be individuals, not working as a larger group of people. The nightmare is that somehow we might not be able to do this. Are we able to give the leadership to people on this campus and UCSB and beyond that what is expected of us. The nightmare is that while at the top I would like to see things tackled and we might not be able to do it.
