From The Big Bang To This Commentary
Briefly

We wanted to create something new, a platform that would place science in a broader context, as an expression of our very human need to make sense of the world and our place in it.
We wanted to scream to the world that science has a soul, that it doesn't emerge from a value-free vacuum as the sober product of uncaring calculating intellects. We wanted to present the passion, the drama, the social and intellectual relevance of science as one of the deepest expressions of our engagement with the mysterious, the unknown aspects of reality.
