Scientific knowledge helps people to understand and appreciate the world and all of its complexities; it’s the best insurance against irrational fear.

I don't expect people to become entomologists or even necessarily to love bugs, but at least to think before reflexively stepping on them. They are just capable of the most amazing things, and many of the things that they do we couldn't survive on this planet without them doing.
