Matt Day: What the hell is going on?

Matt Day is a publisher at Nature Publishing Group

The big question in life for me is “what the hell is going on?” That’s just a restatement of the age-old questions “who am I, where am I, how did I get here and where am I going?” We can create answers in artistic or religious ways, but science is a vital set of tools that gives us factually deep and enduring understanding. For me, it’s hardly surprising that as we understand better what the hell is going on, we can use our new understanding to help ourselves. So science is being used to answer most of the big questions, and it powers us up for our voyage into the future.
