Divya Krishna
And this is to the greatest science communicator of the 20th century. Inspiration for an entire generation of scientists and perhaps even for the ones to come. He certainly wouldn't have been too merry with the current state of our 'demon-haunted world' but I doubt the man wouldn't attempt to spread the right messages across. Happy Birthday Dr. Carl Edward Sagan!

"If we're unwilling to question authority, then we're just putty in the hands of those in power. But if the citizens are educated and form their own opinions, then those in power work for us. We should be teaching our children the scientific method and the reasons for a Bill of Rights. With it comes a certain decency, humility and community spirit. In the demon-haunted world that we inhabit by virtue of being human, this may be all that stands between us and the enveloping darkness."
