Derek Lowe on his blog, In the Pipeline, on the scientific worldview:
[It] is not a mindset that most people naturally find comfortable. Or comforting. You get used to it, you even learn to like it, but I think it’s important to never lose sight of its fundamental strangeness. We’re a bunch of weirdos, we practicing scientists, and the people who follow our work and want to learn more about it are pretty odd, too.
