When I was younger, I always loved math and science. Make the most of your time at high school to develop skills such as public speaking, teamwork and leadership. I began my career in the technical side of GIS, but I have been wooed to the social sciences. Conservation is about so much more than just the facts.

Explore careers in cognitive neuroscience • The Collaborative Program in Neuroscience (CPIN) at the University of Toronto has various public outreach programmes, including NeuroSci 101, an annual lecture series for high school students. I experienced collaborations between biology, engineering and social sciences with a playful attitude.

HOW DOES PUBLIC TRANSPORT AFFECT INEQUALITY? We might not always be aware of it, but efficient transport structures and services are vital for social inclusion. For those without private cars, or who are unable to walk, this means relying on public transport systems. HOW DOES PUBLIC TRANSPORT AFFECT INEQUALITY?

I would never have discovered anthropology if I hadn’t done that.” • Many universities offer degrees in anthropology, but other social science degrees could lead to a career in the field. My studies were focused on political science, but I was also drawn to public health, community advocacy, public policy and community work.

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.

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.

But he continued to write physics papers, which ranged over many different areas, occasionally touching thermodynamics, though most often in the service of answering a “general science” question—like how old the Sun is (he estimated 32,000 years from thermodynamic arguments, though of course without knowledge of nuclear reactions).

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.
