Science
Science is a beautiful gift to humanity; we should not distort it.
My entry into the environmental arena was through the issue that so dramatically — and destructively — demonstrates the link between science and social action: nuclear weapons.
The whole of science is nothing more than a refinement of everyday thinking.
There is no greater impediment to progress in the sciences than the desire to see it take place too quickly.
Science is a way of thinking much more than it is a body of knowledge.
We live in a society exquisitely dependent on science and technology, in which hardly anyone knows anything about science and technology.
Science means constantly walking a tightrope between blind faith and curiosity; between expertise and creativity; between bias and openness; between experience and epiphany; between ambition and passion; and between arrogance and conviction — in short, between an old today and a new tomorrow.
The main purpose of science is simplicity and as we understand more things, everything is becoming simpler.
Computer science is no more about computers than astronomy is about telescopes.
Science is built up of facts, as a house is with stones. But a collection of facts is no more a science than a heap of stones is a house.
Every great advance in science has issued from a new audacity of imagination.
You can be creative in anything — in math, science, engineering, philosophy — as much as you can in music or in painting or in dance.
Wisdom alone is the science of other sciences.
We have also arranged things so that almost no one understands science and technology. This is a prescription for disaster. We might get away with it for a while, but sooner or later this combustible mixture of ignorance and power is going to blow up in our faces.
Art has a double face, of expression and illusion, just like science has a double face: the reality of error and the phantom of truth.
Once you have an innovation culture, even those who are not scientists or engineers — poets, actors, journalists — they, as communities, embrace the meaning of what it is to be scientifically literate. They embrace the concept of an innovation culture. They vote in ways that promote it. They don't fight science and they don't fight technology.
The thing I have discovered about working with personal finance is that the good news is that it is not rocket science. Personal finance is about 80 percent behavior. It is only about 20 percent head knowledge.
Saliva has antibacterial properties. It also has things called nerve growth factor, skin growth factor, histatins which help with wound closure. So when you see an animal licking a wound or even a mom kissing a child's boo-boo, there's some, there's some good science behind why one might do this.
We will always have STEM with us. Some things will drop out of the public eye and will go away, but there will always be science, engineering, and technology. And there will always, always be mathematics.
There's nothing I believe in more strongly than getting young people interested in science and engineering, for a better tomorrow, for all humankind.
