Make the most of your time at high school to develop skills such as public speaking, teamwork and leadership. I started studying chemistry because it seemed like something I would be able to get a job in. I began my career in the technical side of GIS, but I have been wooed to the social sciences. Maps are very powerful.

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.

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 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.

And indeed particularly in chemistry and engineering it’s often been in the background, justifying all the computations routinely done using entropy. 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).
