Most, if not all, textbooks and courses of QM proceed in a similar axiomatic way. At the end of the introduction to QM, most, if not all, students are confused. It takes a long time, several advanced courses, graduate school and often more to master QM. It is ironic that current masters of QM also internalize the paradigm of QM instruction that initially confused and frustrated them, and thus instruct new students in the same way. As a result, those students who take QM as part of a general education and not as the first step of a career in Physics, are left confused forever. I believe this constitutes a failure of the Physics community to communicate to humanity its most precious, successful and beautiful accomplishment. 

Scientific workers tend to be better educated, more independent, and more highly motivated than nontechnical workers. Managers of technical laboratories, who often come from a career in science, need to recognize that management of technical employees is a new profession, distinct from the conduct of technical work. All workers, technical and nontechnical, value the following in descending order of importance 109... 

Carothers spent much of his short life struggling to get an education, and his meteoric career lasted less than a decade. Nonetheless, by manipulating the structure of molecules to produce specialized properties on demand, he inaugurated our modern era of plastics and synthetic materials. 

Educators should take advantage of the availability of professional chemists and chemical engineers, who can speak to the students either in class or in some special forum. Contact with practicing scientists can help students put a human face on a possible future career. It is especially important that women and minority scientists also play a role in such outreach to students, to show that indeed the profession welcomes all with the talent to contribute. Some of this effort should be directed toward the early parts of K-12 education. The future of the chemical sciences may depend on the ability of educators to convince young students that it s cool to be excited by chemistry. ...
