Science is the best idea humans have ever had. The more people who embrace that idea, the better.

Science is a little bit more than a wonderful way of modelling and predicting; it's a wonderful technical abstraction. I think science is a really wonderful technical abstraction.

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

Science is what scientists do.

I had no specific bent toward science until my grandfather died of cancer. I decided nobody should suffer that much.

I think we learn from medicine everywhere that it is, at its heart, a human endeavor, requiring good science but also a limitless curiosity and interest in your fellow human being, and that the physician-patient relationship is key; all else follows from it.

The process of science is difficult and challenging. It involves always being aware that your ideas might be right or they might be wrong. I think it's that kind of balance that makes science so interesting.

I think the reason people are dealing with science less well now than 50 years ago is that it has become so complicated.

If you're an adult and you choose not to believe in science, fine, but please don't prevent your children from learning about it and letting them draw their own conclusions.
