Values of Science: Compassion

          In both Project Nim and the TedX Talk with Melody Jackson concerning FIDO, it is shown that compassion is needed for science to be successful. It changes the perspective in which a scientist views his or her research. Without compassion, their project will eventually lose direction and the scientist will get bored with it. With compassion, however, there is no boredom. There is endless fascination with the research and "good science" is carried out. The end goal is kept in mind. This is similar to life - without compassion, we often lose sight of the things that are important.
