# Phil Plait: Welcome to Science (Comic by ZenPencils)

![](<https://futurism.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/Zen-Pencils-Phil-Plait1.jpg>)

This is a[ comic drawn by ZenPencils](<http://zenpencils.com/comic/52-phil-plait-welcome-to-science/>). The quote is from Phil Plait taken from [a talk he gave](<http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2005/05/09/science-fare/#.U98TPvldWT8>) at a student science fair. Apparently, the night before the speech Phil didn't know what he was going to say, until he saw a news story, full of the normal psuedo-science stuff they so often are. He then wrote this speech. One thing is for certain, the speech (and the comic) will help reinvigorate your love of science.
