My work has taken me from historical research to involvement in electronic publishing ventures to the directorship of the Harvard University Libraries.

Occasionally a particular word or phrase in a letter or diary has sparked an entire plot – like an echo from history, still very alive.

Research indicates that two out of every five consumers are unfamiliar with hybrid technology and its benefits, … This clinic ensures that our customers not only have the most current information about their hybrid, but...

This is real research – slow, serious, scientifically rigorous and painstaking work. It will go in strange directions, produce ambiguous results along the way, and raise a lot of new questions, but we’re convinced that...

I have written about Chile extensively, and therefore I have read many books on the subject, mostly for research.

There’s nothing I know of in the research world that (says) size itself matters. There’s lots of small, awful districts in this country.

I think, however, that so long as our present economic and national systems continue, scientific research has little to fear.

With a library it is easier to hope for serendipity than to look for a precise answer.

Learning and knowing something is cool, but superb knowledge comes when you leave your books and become the inner world’s friend.

AMR Research has also reported that reverse logistics account for more than 4.5 percent of total logistics costs, therefore inefficiency can substantially affect a company’s bottom line. Integrating reverse logistics processes into the service supply...

A simple intuition, a single observation, can open vistas of unimagined potential. Once caught in the web of an idea, the researcher is happily doomed, for the outcome is always uncertain, and the resolution of...

The greatest part of a writer’s time is spent in reading, in order to write: a man will turn over half a library to make one book.

If the research is correct, and the (proteins) are able to bind to soils and remain infectious, it means additional deer might eventually be infected, even if we’ve managed to kill off all the previously...

The long-term legacy will be one of encouraging this research area. We need to find that intervention that will make a big difference.

Infiltrating the records of a state penitentiary as well as the state and federal court systems was much more fun than deciphering art. -Phil Roach

The thing that we at MIT must understand is the amount of real damage that is being done to us in the fine structure of how research funds are expended.

Operating some centrifuges is different from the enrichment, and we will continue the research work and never give in under pressures.

Our preliminary research indicates that hybrid owners tend to fall into the preferred insured category, and at Travelers, lower risk drivers are rewarded with lower premiums. Additionally, hybrid vehicle sales have at least doubled every...

Orcas can be spotted from the shores of Seattle, Tacoma, Port Angeles, Bellingham, and the popular San Juan Islands in Washington State; and Vancouver, Victoria, Nanaimo, Campbell River, and other cities in BC. These venues...

Theories without data are like daydreams.

The movie was going to be a big hit. Of course, that was a perfect illustration of what market research does. It tells you what you don’t need to know and is often very misleading.

Research is the process of going up alleys to see if they are blind.

The professor is not merely an information dispensing machine, but a skilled navigator of a complex landscape.

The research we do at the local level – collaboratively – is what makes formal, outside research work. Outside research cannot be installed like a car part – it has to be fitted, adjusted, and...

A word out of place or an interesting choice of vocabulary can spawn a whole character.

Frequently, I have been asked if an experiment I have planned is pure or applied science; to me it is more important to know if the experiment will yield new and probably enduring knowledge about...

The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases is an institute of the National Institutes of Health that is responsible predominantly for basic and clinical research in the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of immunologic and...

He who believes not in your quest should not sail with you, so that he won’t sink your ship

My very clear vision for the ideal Roomba is one you never see and you never touch. Our research priorities are explicitly focused on the Roomba of the future that will deliver on the promise...

There’s a reason why researchers and organizations like Pew Research are doing the work that they do — they do so to make sure that we don’t forget about the populations that aren’t already in...

The educated person is one who knows how to find out what he does not know

The foundation of data gathering is built on asking questions. Never limit the number of hows, whats, wheres, whens, whys and whos, as you are conducting an investigation. A good researcher knows that there will...

We’re definitely hoping that the president will make mention of the success of adult stem-cell research.

{Recalling Professor ‘s remarks (1895) to a group of his graduate students about to go out with their degrees into the world beyond the university:}He talked to us for an hour on what was ahead...

He’s very idealistic, very politically minded and a very motivated kid. It started as a research idea, but it became almost a dream for him.

A scholar must not only be capable of hard, often totally resultless work – he must actually relish it.

Despite the growing clinical and research interest in dissociative symptoms and disorders, it is also true that the substantial prevalence rates for dissociative disorders are still disproportional to the number of studies addressing these conditions....

History makes my mouth water – and that is as much because of the voids in what documentation remains as what is set in stone.

This is a world where things move at their own pace, including a tiny lift Fortey and I shared with a scholarly looking elderly man with whom Fortey chatted genially and familiarly as we proceeded...

I don’t know if you realize this, but there are some researchers – doctors – who are giving this kind of drug to volunteers, to see what the effects are, and they’re doing it the...

Today, under the supervision of the agency, research activities will resume.

Historically, things that are bad for you are the things you want. But research shows that’s not always the case.

Dell has had a very focused strategy: Don’t spend a lot on research and development, leverage the work of others, and deliver cookie-cutter servers and desktops cheaply. That lined up well with the market when...

How are EPA scientists supposed to engage in cutting edge research when they cannot find what the agency has already done?

…he imagined another life for himself as one of these silent scholars, buried in his research like a guinea pig in its wood shavings, nibbling away steadily after some arcane piece of knowledge in the...

What we resume is merely in the field of research, not more than that.

Mote’s function is doing the research, not advocating which (method) can or cannot be used but which is most effective, and which has adverse effects on the environment.

It will facilitate the world’s space research if Russia, China and the European Union join hands on space research.

Research shows that this particular avian flu virus can be transmitted to humans who are in direct contact with the infected animal.

Good” now is better than “Best” never.
