There is this tremendous body of knowledge in the world of academia where extraordinary numbers of incredibly thoughtful people have taken the time to examine on a really profound level the way we live our lives and who we are and where we've been. That brilliant learning sometimes gets trapped in academia and never sees the light of day.

It's hard to imagine anything more interesting than learning how we're woven into the enormous tapestry of existence. Where did our universe come from? How special is our world, and how special are we? We allocate tens of billions of dollars annually to NASA, NSF and academia in search of the answers.

Society understands the architecture of academia and knows there are relevant qualifications in different fields, and the media accepts the idea of specialisations and accords greater respect to those with greater expertise. With one exception: climate science.

It's maybe an unrecognized fact of academia that what you spend a lot of your time doing is convincing people of your vision and raising funds to support your research activity. So in that sense, transitioning to a startup wasn't that big of a transition.

You must live life in its very elementary forms. The Mexicans have a very nice word for it: pura vida. It doesn't mean just purity of life, but the raw, stark-naked quality of life. And that's what makes young people more into a filmmaker than academia.

My fellow economists and academics fail to understand the economics of trade in the real world. Traditional models of academia respect free trade without considering whether it is fair trade.

It's very important that there should be cross-fertilisation between government and academia. Both parties can benefit from having a better understanding of how the other works.

I had been an academic all my life. As academics, you tend to believe the smartest people are in academia.

When I was in grad school, I wanted to be in academia forever.

Academia refers specifically to the university and college context, not general education like high schools.

Academic Domain

Academia often involves research work, which is key to developing new knowledge.

Research Emphasis

Remember, working in academia doesn't just mean teaching; it includes roles like researchers and administrators.

Not Just Teaching

Academia as a lifestyle includes daily life on campus, like attending events and participating in academic discourse.

Beyond Studies

Being in academia can also mean you're part of a cultural and social circle that values intellectualism.

Cultural Involvement

Living the academia lifestyle means actively engaging with scholarly work beyond just attending classes.

Active Engagement

 We bring together hundreds of thousands of experts to solve important problems for industry and academia. This gives us a unique perspective on what machines can do, what they can't do and what jobs they might automate or threaten.
