very large amount of biology is concerned with microbes, most of what be learned about fundamental biology comes from studying microbes, viruses in particular. i think we are having at least as big an effect on the microbial as the big animals. in both cases we don't control it but we are certainly disturbing it very seriously. >> this brings up an important point. you are a physicist. you are a physicists among many other things. as a student, you work in contributions to quantum mechanics and quantum field theory in particular but i think it is fair to call you -- your contributions are fairly extensive. this particular book for those who haven't read it yet is a collection primarily of essays and book reviews and one of the remarkable things is how much ground it covers. we discussed a little bit, biology, physics history and so on. can you describe your process of diving into a new field, biology, ecology, evolution economics, so on. if you could describe your process, described what you learned and if it is not too much maybe your sense of how daunting it can be to go into a world whe

this points out that number one there really is a biology.hallenging and extremely fundamental. our understanding is very modest. we have talked about this. many have asked charlie and me how long it will take before we had a satisfactory understanding of the brain. our perception has been a century area and we have been a lot of -- we have made a lot of progress, but we are a long way from really understanding the brain system. >> gender identity is so essential to who we are. i think we have a duty to be able to provide some type of explanation. there is something really important, too, which is to understand that it is not all black and white. >> i think it is important to remember that differences are not disorders. i am proud to be transgender. i think that different brains drive perspectives. the real question is why society thinks that male brains are better brains. >> i think one thing that would be interesting to see is, as you function in a way you are comfortable with, it has freed you up. has it increased your creativity? >> it re

does not disrespectful because it's drawn based on biology. i have to say one casualty of the marriage -- is an impoverished view of what marriage and the role of biological procreation. the state's premise is that same sex couples marry and different sex couples won't and have their children in a marriage. those two could not be further apart. people make their own decisions is beyond attenuated and the idea also that there are others who raise children and good for them. it's something that i hope policymakers will support, but adult relationships we're talking about at the foundation here are different adult relationships and telling same sex couples who have made that commitment to one another, that have committed to raising children is stigmatizing. if i may, my last point is that the only way i can really understand michigan's points about procreation and biology and so on is when i look for example page 31 of their brief. and they say that what they care about is people who have children together staying together. and providing a long-t
