I think a lot of us are a lot more cautious with marriage because of what we saw happening with our parents. I see a lot more healthy marriages in my generation than they probably saw in theirs.
Science has a culture that is inherently cautious and that is normally not a bad thing.

So I changed my last name to End because I always called myself 'The End.' I thought that was cool.
