Olga Solomina, doct. Geogr. sciences, deputy. Director of the Institute of Geography of the Russian Academy of Sciences: - What is the role of self -education in your life? - The fact is that my path to science is atypical. My basic education is almost completely not correlated with what I am doing now. I graduated from the Faculty of History of Moscow State University (evening department, the Department of Source Studies), but I have never studied history in my life, not a single day.

We would like to devote this number to the memory of Alexei Merkuryevich Gilyarov (May 19, 1943 - October 20, 2013), a well -known biologist, a popularizer of science and a friend of our newspaper. Several hundred people came to the farewell ceremony with him, which took place on October 23, 2013 at the Faculty of Biology of Moscow State University. Then, a funeral took place at the Nikolo-Arkhangelsk cemetery.

I learned about the existence of a competition for young scientists “Scientific Battles” of the Polytechnic Museum by accident, from a repost on Facebook.

Indeed, I was one of the “signatories” and I don’t regret it for a single second. I consider the offer to join this initiative flattering because it came from very worthy people and world-class scientists.

Portable handheld devices fill our lives every day, giving us moments of leisure in long lines and delays in transport. Portable mobile phones and smartphones make our lives more interesting, varied and complete. However, quite often they fail - the battery begins to fail, which holds a charge very poorly and is discharged within a matter of time of using the device.

Dear Misha! Heartfelt congratulations on your anniversary. I really appreciate dates like this because it's the best reason to say good things to your friends straight to their faces and without embarrassment. You are perhaps the only person I personally know who has done something of comparable significance both in science itself and FOR science and scientists.

Litter remains a problem for many cities and towns. There is always a lot of garbage, but there are not always many recyclers of this garbage on the market. Many settlements suffer from the impossibility of timely and complete garbage removal . Meanwhile, this state of affairs seems catastrophic, since the profitability of the waste processing industry can be very high. This is exactly the area where money can be made literally from nothing.

Victor Vasiliev, doct. physical. sciences, academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences, chief researcher Mian, professor at the HSE mathematics faculty: Without self -education in mathematics - nothing. Regular university education, even good, gives only the very basics. After that, you can, of course, sink in any one area and become a narrow expert there, familiarizing themselves only with literature on the topic and generalizing and deepening it to infinity, but it is quite sad and boring.

Sergey Belkov The future, as it seemed in 1966, Harry Harrison and how it was shown in the 1973 Antiopia film "Green Soylent" is gradually approaching. In less than 10 years, people will have nothing to eat on the planet, they will huddle in close houses and receive meager rations from corporations and government. But we do not believe it yet. We are still carefree, hunger is not terrible to us, the growth rate of the population is gradually leveled.
