It is a waste of money to help those who show no desire to help themselves.

The work I was involved in had no obvious therapeutic benefit. It was purely of scientific interest. I hope the country will continue to support basic research even though it may have no obvious practical value.

Testimonials are enough to convince people for now.

It is a truth universally acknowledged on Wall Street that original research is on life support. Serious research can be bad for business, as well as expensive.

We really should be grateful to the people who participate in research and allow certain details to be published about themselves. Because if they didn't, we wouldn't have nearly the understanding of the brain that we do.

The more research you do, the more at ease you are in the world you're writing about. It doesn't encumber you, it makes you free.

I think it works differently for everyone. Some people do amazing things with research, but for me, it just gets convoluted, and I start to think too much.

Like any decent researcher, I throw away 90% of my research.

Hard as it is to imagine, there's a move afoot in Congress to take away the public's free online access to tax-funded medical research findings. That would be bad for medical discovery, bad for patients looking for the latest research results, and another rip-off of the American taxpayer.

If you don't think there is any value in the work I, or any other serious journalists do, then don't spend your money on it. At least you have the choice.
