We think that it is the best scientists working in the frontier fields of science who are best able to judge what is good and what is bad - if any - in the application of their scientific research.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I think it's important for scientists to be a bit less arrogant, a bit more humble, recognising we are capable of making mistakes and being fallacious - which is increasingly serious in a society where our work may have unpredictable consequences.
I think there is value in having practising scientists as leaders of research institutions.
We asked ourselves and the world to base decisions on good science, and I really believe the United States can be the leader in delivering that message to our international trading partners.
Scientists tend to be unappreciated in the world at large, but you can hardly overstate the importance of the work they do.
We live in a world economically, socially, and culturally dependent on science not only functioning well, but being wisely applied.
The best science frequently combines an awareness of broad and significant problems with focus on an apparently small issue or detail that someone very much wants to solve or understand. Sometimes these little problems or inconsistencies turn out to be the clues to big advances.
The best scientists that I've met are those that are humanists and scientists at the same time.
Science is our last and greatest frontier.
Science, as everyone knows, is responsible, moderate, unsentimental, and otherwise good.
Individual scientists cannot do much on their own. Heads of nations, corporates, and economic giants should recognise the criticality of it.
