Robin Hood Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 Do scientists travel on planes too much, flying around the world to attend meetings? Check out this video about a scientist who chooses not to fly! http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=UPlt3yVPwCQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iNow Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 (edited) Lol. If you think scientists travel too much, I would suggest you avoid looking into corporate America. Edited May 31, 2008 by iNow speeling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pangloss Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 There's definitely something compelling about the way this guy looks at things. I especially liked the idea of riding as a passenger on a cargo hauler across the ocean. Not exactly luxury travel, but perhaps a very cool experience.

iNow Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 The challenge is when you have to be in Dallas in the morning, Atlanta at lunchtime, and San Francisco by evening... Not exactly able to do that with a train. I'm all for lowing our environmental impact, and I know how challenging it can be, but sometimes there's a very real need to do more than "ride the train instead." I like this scientists ideas and actions. It's just that it won't work for me, so I get frustrated. I'd love to be able to do my job without burning a bunch of jet fuel, but nobody's yet invented teleportation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
