Peter Klien is famous for what great science should achieve: Asking unexpected, sometimes absurd questions at the right moment and gaining the most revealing answers. Most will know him from the late-night show “Willkommen Österreich”, but Klien, who studied Philosophy and Classical Philology is not only a comedian, but also lecturer at the department of Philosophy at Vienna University and spokesperson of the Austrian Library Association. And a supporter of the Vienna Science March:
“It is impressive and great, that scientist from all over the world take to the streets on the same day, and it is even greater, that this will happen in Austria, too. I may state not only regarding my disciplines, Philosophy and Classical Philology: It is good for science not to hide away. And listening to the voice of rationality it is good for society. Especially in times who are maybe not so much historical, but definitely hysterical. Wishing you lots of success for this March for Science, even it is going to be in April.”
