I cant explainn how much science has changed my life for the better. Most scientists are very humble people that really care about what they do and study.

It amazes me how many people are evil in the world. Just take a look at the increasing prison populations.

Many people over look the people that actually make the big difference. I work from home and a common phrase we use is Geld mit Emails verdienen.  As you can tell I speak some German haha. I make money behind the scenes just like these scientists practically make the world a better place and no one knows who they are. This is so cool - Go Obama.

I think it is great to praise scientist for their hard work and effort. I run a free chat rooms website and this topic is widely talked about there.  Many people are interested in what new discoveries scientists are finding out. Im glad President Obama is giving them awards for their hard work.
