From China Daily: Sparks Fly Between Scientists And Writers (please see the site for the pictures)

The second day saw sparks flare up when a couple of attending writers, including Zhang, said they were scared of science, which they said has such overwhelmingly huge and potential disastrous power. Wang, who said he has many scientist friends, shared his view that artists and writers should depart from their fear of science. Fear often arises out of ignorance, he said.Instead of being scared of science, artists should be scared of their ignorance of science, he said. Qin Boyi, a scientist who has written several books on science popularization, agreed with Wang, adding that scientists have also acquired inspiration from liberal arts. "It is not uncommon that many top-notch scientists have a good understanding and knowledge about arts and literature," he said. "Einstein was a big fan of classical music and played the violin quite well."
