I just got back from the James Watson reading. Except he didn't actually read from anything. Some quotes:
On the state of public views of science:
I'm only scared of two things: getting Alzheimer's and the religious right.
Someone should be telling kids in high school that it's okay not to believe in god.
On possible problems with biotech:
There are some people who, if we could clone people, I wouldn't want cloned.
Sure, genetically modified substances should be tested. But so should all those herbal supplements they sell.
