Message from Your SDB President
Carl Sagan once said, "Science is a way of thinking much more than it is a body of knowledge. It transcends boundaries, cultures, and conflicts." This sentiment is especially relevant in today's world, where societal and global boundaries are increasingly prevalent. Science should be universal. Scientific inquiry and discoveries should be accessible to all of humanity.
