I heard the term “self-science” for the first time approximately 34 years ago. I had no idea that this new term would have such a profound effect upon my life.
The year was 1979 and some of the following things were happening:
- the UK elected their first female prime minister, Margaret Thatcher;
- Sony released the Walkman at $200 a unit;
- the Three Mile Island nuclear accident occurred after a reactor fire;
- the Sahara Desert experienced snow for 30 minutes; and
- China instituted a one child per family policy to help control their exploding population.
