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...

It is the responsibility of scientists never to suppress knowledge, no matter how awkward that knowledge is, no matter how it may bother those in power; we are not smart enough to decide which pieces...

I am sure my fellow-scientists will agree with me if I say that whatever we were able to achieve in our later years had its origin in the experiences of our youth and in the...

Scientists have made extraordinary advances in understanding the brain and its disorders.

…where were answers to the truly deep questions? Religion promised those, though always in vague terms, while retreating from one line in the sand to the next. Don’t look past this boundary, they told Galileo,...

Scientists want to search for alien signals because that’s what gets them publicity. They are like Jesus Christ.””Jesus Christ?” Nambodri asked, with a faintly derogatory chuckle.”Yes. They are exactly like Jesus Christ. You know that...

I believe that a scientist looking at nonscientific problems is just as dumb as the next guy.

I must have interviewed 600 or 700 scientists all around the world.

Read Euler, read Euler, he is the master of us all.

It is obvious that we are short of scientists. With what we have, it may not be possible for us to compete (in terms of) innovation,

We tend to hear much more about the splendors returned than the ships that brought them or the shipwrights. It has always been that way. Even those history books enamored of the voyages of Christopher...

It is now established by verifiable evidence that religion stultifies the brain and is the great obstacle in the path of intellectual progress.The more religious a person is, the more he is steeped in ignorance...

Foreshadowings of the principles and even of the language of [the infinitesimal] calculus can be found in the writings of Napier, Kepler, Cavalieri, Fermat, Wallis, and Barrow. It was Newton’s good luck to come at...

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,...
