1. What is your biggest fear and why?
As a scientist, my biggest fear is the potential consequences of climate change. The rapidly warming planet and its effects on the environment and human society are deeply concerning and could have devastating impacts if not addressed.
2. What scares you about the future of science and technology?
I am concerned about the ethical implications of advancements in science and technology. As we continue to push boundaries and create new innovations, it is important to consider the potential consequences and ensure that these advancements are used for the greater good.
3. Are there any specific scientific discoveries or developments that worry you?
The potential misuse and weaponization of artificial intelligence is a major concern for me. While AI has the potential to greatly benefit society, it also has the capability to be used for harm and destruction.
4. How do you cope with the fears and uncertainties in your field of study?
As a scientist, I rely on evidence and data to guide my understanding and decision-making. This helps to alleviate fears and uncertainties as I am able to base my beliefs and actions on solid research and evidence.
5. How can we as a society address and overcome these fears?
It is important for individuals, communities, and governments to prioritize education and awareness about these fears and their potential consequences. By understanding the issues at hand, we can work towards finding solutions and taking action to mitigate these fears.
