The modern struggle – Lone individuals summoning inhuman willpower, fasting, meditating, and exercising, up against armies of scientists and statisticians weaponizing abundant food, screens, and medicine into junk food, clickbait news, infinite porn, endless games...

I don’t think that they have many of the scientists who were involved in the weapons program to talk to at this time, and there were thousands of people, engineers and scientists, they know where...

It has taken more than a hundred scientists two years to find out how to make the product in question; I have been given thirty days to create its personality and plan its launching. If...

For a scientist, this is a good way to live and die, maybe the ideal way for any of us – excitedly finding we were wrong and excitedly waiting for tomorrow to come so we...

[The finding that Spanish flu came straight from birds has raised concerns among scientists. Previously, a pandemic was only thought likely if an avian strain merged with a human flu virus.] For me, it raises...

Those whom nature destined to make her disciples have no need of teachers. Bacon, Descartes, Newton — these tutors of the human race had no need of tutors themselves, and what guides could have led...

He’s probably one of the most outstanding scientists this campus has seen in decades. He’s one we did not want to lose.

They have literally stuck their hands into a hornets’ nest. This is going to inflame a lot of scientists who are very, very concerned and are far more knowledgeable in this area than the authors...

This is a victory for sound science, the killer whales, and the people of the Pacific Northwest. However, if Congress continues on its path to gut the Endangered Species Act, the best tools available to...

My grandpa thought it was a fun game when I was little,” West said as he rubbed his eyes again. ”That’s a scientist’s version of fun for you.

But if the two countries or governments are at war, the men of science are not. That would, indeed be a civil war of the worst description: we should rather, through the instrumentality of the...

I enjoy very much communication. I think that scientists need to communicate.

Mimi na wewe na vitu vyote ulimwenguni ni wazito kwa sababu ya ‘Higgs Boson’, inayojulikana pia kama ‘The God’s Particle’. Wanasayansi wa CERN wamekuwa wakiitafuta ‘higgs’ (iliyojificha ndani ya ‘higgs field’) kwa zaidi ya miaka...

Science is a satisfactory curiosity.

I feel very strongly indeed that a Cambridge education for our scientists should include some contact with the humanistic side. The gift of expression is important to them as scientists; the best research is wasted...

Magic is magic as long as humans can explain it logically!

Scientists are human—they’re as biased as any other group. But they do have one great advantage in that science is a self-correcting process.

They have stuck their hands into a hornet’s nest. This is going to inflame a lot of scientists who are very, very concerned and are far more knowledgeable in this area than the authors appear...

To prove to an indignant questioner on the spur of the moment that the work I do was useful seemed a thankless task and I gave it up. I turned to him with a smile...

Ask a true scientist a very profound question on his science, and he will besilent. Ask a true religious person a very simple question on his religion, and he will be frenzied.

The Mountain Lion Foundation is putting all game agencies on notice, … International scientists responsible for monitoring the state of the world’s species have declared the mountain lion is actively threatened due to high levels...

Scientists still do not appear to understand sufficiently that all earth sciences must contribute evidence toward unveiling the state of our planet in earlier times, and that the truth of the matter can only be...

One might be led to question whether the scientists acted wisely in presenting the statesmen of the world with this appalling problem. Actually there was no choice. Once basic knowledge is acquired, any attempt at...

I would say it’s important for scientists to speak out when they can and when they can be listened to.

So, my advice to young scientists is, think critically about your work; probably don’t blab unnecessarily.

Look … first and foremost, I’m a scientist. That means it’s my responsibility to make observations and gather evidence before forming a hypothesis, not vice versa.

It’s peculiar to me,’ she said, ‘that everybody pays so much attention to living and so little to dying. Why are these high-powered scientists always screwing around trying to prolong life instead of finding pleasant...

I don’t think we would be. I think it’d be scientists and farmers and such.

A good many times I have been present at gatherings of people who, by the standards of the traditional culture, are thought highly educated and who have with considerable gusto been expressing their incredulity at...

Jon is widely admired and respected by the best scientists. His models and analyses are innovative and credible. He is tackling some of the toughest issues of climate change.

The fact that scientists do not consciously practice a formal methodology is very poor evidence that no such methodology exists. It could be said—has been said—that there is a distinctive methodology of science which scientists...

Scientists are peeping Toms at the keyhole of eternity

I believe that only scientists can understand the universe. It is not so much that I have confidence in scientists being right, but that I have so much in nonscientists being wrong.

It is very easy to grow tired at collecting; the period of a low tide is about all men can endure. At first the rocks are bright and every moving animal makes his mark on...

I’m no politician, and maybe that’s a bad thing. Maybe more scientists should become involved politically.

In these two cases I would say scientists were overzealous, too quick to push ahead. Scientists feel the pressure of our society like everyone else. Their decisions are clouded by visions of fame and dollars.

We need science education to produce scientists, but we need it equally to create literacy in the public. Man has a fundamental urge to comprehend the world about him, and science gives today the only...

Oops, somebody discovered something!” No. We’re always at the drawing board. If you’re not at the drawing board, you’re not making discoveries. You’re not a scientist; you’re something else. The public, on the other hand,...

The scientist in me makes it my preference that you try one variable or supplement at a time for each medical problem. The exception is taking a multiple vitamin-mineral supplement. That’s always a good idea.

Chemistry has the same quickening and suggestive influence upon the algebraist as a visit to the Royal Academy, or the old masters may be supposed to have on a Browning or a Tennyson. Indeed it...

The lives of scientists, considered as Lives, almost always make dull reading. For one thing, the careers of the famous and the merely ordinary fall into much the same pattern, give or take an honorary...

Humboldt’s early biographer, F.A. Schwarzenberg, subtitled his life of Humboldt What May Be Accomplished in a Lifetime. He summarised the areas of his subject’s extraordinary curiosity as follows: ‘1) The knowledge of the Earth and...

There’s so much knowledge to be had that specialists cling to their specialties as a shield against having to know anything about anything else. They avoid being drowned.

There is a curious idea among unscientific men that in scientific writing there is a common plateau of perfectionism. Nothing could be more untrue. The reports of biologists are the measure, not of the science,...

When you are famous it is hard to work on small problems. This is what did Shannon in. After information theory, what do you do for an encore? The great scientists often make this error....

For scientists, reality is not optional.

Scientists are the true driving force of civilization.

[About the great synthesis of atomic physics in the 1920s]It was a heroic time. It was not the doing of any one man; it involved the collaboration of scores of scientists from many different lands....

The whole point of science is to help people sort out conflicting science, and nowhere is there more conflicting claims than in the area of diet, … It’s important to bring together good scientists. Good...

I can’t imagine the scientists wanting me to walk into the lab and start fiddling around with some big bowl of electrons they had out.
