Compassionate Science

To be a compassionate scientist, you must have some sort of training in a technological course to be able to make the world a better place. Most of all, you need some sort of motivation to push you to make a change, such as Mike Ebeling. He knew something about the technology behind 3D printing, but he also had a motivation; the arm-less children in Africa. He used his knowledge to teach the Africans how to make prosthetic arms for them. Without compassionate scientists such as Ebeling, the world would not be the way it is now. Without them, some technological advancements that have been made throughout the years might have not happened. Many of the advancements that we see today might not have been possible without having compassionate scientists. The idea to help others without wanting something in return doesn't cross everyone's mind. Many scientists around the world just do their job, and that's it. They don't take it up upon themselves to come up with ideas to help make the world a better place.
