Zinhle: Kulungile.Ngakho ake sikhulume kabanzi ngalokhu.Ngakho-ke, ekuqaleni uhlose ukuhlinzeka ngama-workshops kwabesifazane abanemibala emkhakheni wesayensi yoshaka.Ungangitshela inhloso yalezi zingxoxo?
UGraham: Yebo.Ngakho-ke umbono weshabhu, kufanele siwusebenzise esikhundleni sokuba iqembu labantu asebevele benza isayensi.Kufanele sisebenzise leli thuba ukukhuthaza abesifazane abanebala elimhlophe abangakangeni kwisayensi yoshaka futhi abangenaso isipiliyoni.Bakhala nje bezama ukuyithola.Ngakho sanquma ukukwenza kube uhlobo lokufundisa esikhundleni sokuzihlalela.Sithemba futhi ukuthi kumahhala kubahlanganyeli, ngoba izithiyo zezomnotho zokungena kwisayensi yasolwandle ziyizithiyo ezinkulu abantu abaningi ababhekana nazo.
UGraham: Isayensi yasolwandle ayakhelwe abantu abanesimo esithile senhlalo-mnotho.Lokhu kucacile futhi kulula.Bafana, kufanele uthole isipiliyoni.Kodwa kufanele ukhokhele lokhu okuhlangenwe nakho.

UGraham: Ukubuka nje umuntu emehlweni abo, bathi, washintsha impilo yami, uma ngingahlangananga nawe, uma ngingenalo lolu hlobo lokuhlangenwe nakho, angicabangi ukuthi ngingakwenza, ngahlangana nabo bonke. kubo Abanye besifazane abanebala elimhlophe nabo abazama ukungena emkhakheni wesayensi yoshaka-babona umthelela ngoba le nto esiyixoxile.Futhi wena, sengathi, uyazi engqondweni yakho, o, lokhu kungaba kuhle.Lokhu kuzoshintsha izimpilo-dah (ph), dah-dah, dah-dah, willy-nilly.
Kodwa bebuka umuntu emehlweni, bathi angiboni ukuthi ngihlakaniphe ngokwanele, angicabangi ukuthi ngingakwenza lokhu, ngicabanga ukuthi ngingumuntu, impelasonto yale mpelasonto ishintshile lokhu kanye esikufuna kimi. Yenza.Izikhathi eziqotho nabantu obathonyayo nje-ngeke ngikushintshe lokhu kunoma yini emhlabeni.Lowo kwakuwumuzwa omkhulu kunawo wonke.Anginandaba noma ngiwine uMklomelo KaNobel noma ngishicilele inkulungwane yamaphepha.Ngaleso sikhathi othile wathi ungenzele lokhu futhi ngisazoqhubeka nokunikela.Ngelinye ilanga ngiyofana nawe futhi ngihambe ngemva kwami.Ngizosiza nabesifazane bebala, ukuqabulana nje kompheki.ephelele.
