Become a teacher. I did frankly because I seemed to be good at it. But then I started seeing the "I'm understanding science" lights go on in their eyes. And ultimately, after a few years, I realized they'd open their ears to me about anything -- like how we were screwing the biosphere; all over the world. And I was a pariah among my peers but it didn't matter. No longer doing that, I feel deprived as hell, But that's what it's about. You have to make people believe you care about their minds before they'll listen.

Teach always. If necessary, in a classroom. (Apologies to Francis of Assisi.)
