Science isn't just for scientists - it's not just a training for careers.

I can't ever remember not wanting to be a scientist.

Science is a wonderful thing if one does not have to earn one's living at it.

I always said I wanted to be scientist, but I didn't really have the staying power.

I never wanted to be a scientist per se. I wanted to be a naturalist.

Admittedly, I possess virtually no expertise in science. That puts me in exactly the same position as most dogmatic environmentalists who want to craft public policy around global warming fears.

To mistrust science and deny the validity of scientific method is to resign your job as a human. You'd better go look for work as a plant or wild animal.

I feel it is now my duty to speak to young women, to encourage them to have careers and, particularly, careers in science.

The absolute worst thing that you ever can do, in my opinion, in bringing science to the general public, is be condescending or judgmental. It is so opposite to the way science needs to be brought forth.

Science is not inherently good.
