As a scientist, this makes me want to cut someone. I won’t craft a long and feisty rebuttal, because that’s not my way. But, seriously?

All I will say is science takes you to the stars, inside a living cell, and allows you to visualize the symmetry and poetry of molecules. Science and art are not mutually exclusive. Hell, I’m writing a novel while getting my Biochemistry PhD.

Also, deodorant. Brought to you by science. You’re welcome.

I would remind you that Stephen Fry’s father was a physicist and he himself is far from a Luddite. I suspect he’s exaggerating to make the point that the artificial barriers that have arisen between science and art are unfortunate and we should all strive to break them down.

Agreed. But I take umbrage at the suggestion that science is somehow inferior to art because it is analytical in nature. It’s a gut reaction to take offense at this statement when you live, eat and breathe science for 10 years, thinking your work will somehow make this world a better place, and then someone comes along and says, “Cancer cure? Pfft. All you need is love man. Scientists are soulless.”
