Make the most of your time at high school to develop skills such as public speaking, teamwork and leadership. I also teach GIS and data science classes, all with a geophysical component, and conduct research in these topics. I began my career in the technical side of GIS, but I have been wooed to the social sciences.

This is the first of a series of pieces I’m planning in connection with the upcoming 20th anniversary of the publication of A New Kind of Science. “There’s a Whole New Field to Build…” For me the story began nearly 50 years ago —with what I saw as a great and fundamental mystery of science.

But, first and foremost, the story of the Second Law is the story of a great intellectual achievement of the mid-19th century. Kelvin’s ideas about the inevitable dissipation of “useful energy” spread quickly—by 1854, for example, finding their way into an eloquent public lecture by Hermann von Helmholtz (1821–1894).

I first met Ed in 1982—on an island in the Caribbean he had bought with money from taking public a tech company he’d founded. But Ed Fredkin’s first piece of public visibility seems to have come in 1948, when he was 13 years old—and it reminds me so much of many of Ed’s later “self-imposed” adventures.

As a high school student, Winnie had a passion for both math and the social sciences. Her teachers pushed her into the “easier” path of social sciences rather than encourage her interest in STEM subjects. And throughout my sort of high school experience, I’d been, you know, passionate about social sciences.
