Hard sciences are successful because they deal with the soft problems; soft sciences are struggling because they deal with the hard problems.

Hard sciences are successful because they deal with the soft problems; soft sciences are struggling because they deal with the hard problems.

Hard sciences are successful because they deal with the soft problems; soft sciences are struggling because they deal with the hard problems.

Hard sciences are successful because they deal with the soft problems; soft sciences are struggling because they deal with the hard problems.
