The Nobel laureate Serge Haroche while visiting India in January 2017 has been quoted as saying 'Since they receive taxpayer's money, the scientists can't live in an ivory tower. They must go to the society to explain their science and spend the research (funds) in a responsible way....' Further, speaking of the best students in the society, not necessarily limited to any particular country, Haroche notes, 'The passion of doing science needs to be initiated among them and the best way to do that is by exposing them to science experiments. Also they need to be given a decent salary in their career to raise their family....' Stated differently, it then becomes the responsibility of all, including theorists to convey the excitement of their work, so that young people can take up a scientific career.
