Science is what scientists do.

Science can promote an understanding between people at a really fundamental level.

Science is a way of thinking much more than it is a body of knowledge.

Science today is a highly collaborative exercise, and to convert it into a contest, as the Nobel does, is a bad way to look at science.

Most great advances have been a collaboration. That is the joy of science for me.

Science is imagination in the service of the verifiable truth, and that service is indeed communal. It cannot be rigidly planned. Rather, it requires freedom and courage and the plural contributions of many different kinds of people who must maintain their individuality while giving to the group.

One of the lessons I have learned in the different stages of my career is that science is not done alone. It is through talking with others and sharing that progress is made.

Science is a tool, and we invent tools to do things we want. It's a question of how those tools are used by people.

Most achievements in science are to a certain degree group efforts.

Science - or the products of science like technology - is just a way of achieving something real, something that happens, something that works.
