My kid is turning 13.

Last night, while we were talking about his birthday, I realized that something, a word, a name, is constantly popping in my head. Confused, I started putting the pieces of letters together. It came out as: "Hossein Fahmideh"

I was bewildered... What on earth is this? Who is this?....it took a few minutes for my brain to process this information, digging up deep corners of my memory....Then Boom....a sharp pain in my heart and I went numb.

I am an honored member of a burned generation…a generation who lost precious days of their youth to a movement which was originally hoped to navigate us to better days… Quite on the contrary, we became the innocent victims of our parent’s hope for freedom.

I happen to be a basic scientist in-training.

What science trainees are taught early, is to strongly avoid using the phrase "As a Matter of Fact"....Nature does NOT throw dice. There is No fact. What we normally refer to as Fact in our daily lives, is known as "Evidence" in Science. Every scientific problem-solving is initiated with generating a clear "General Question". The current evidence surrounding this Question then lead to the generation of a general "Hypothesis".
