Science and technology are the keys to both our longevity and our demise. Our entire existence on this planet is a double-edged sword.

But because we live in an age of science, we have a preoccupation with corroborating our myths.

We have also arranged things so that almost no one understands science and technology. This is a prescription for disaster. We might get away with it for a while, but sooner or later this combustible mixture of ignorance and power is going to blow up in our faces.

Obviously technology has become such a big presence in our lives and, I definitely know, in my life.

Our world is built on biology and once we begin to understand it, it then becomes a technology.

Science is our last and greatest frontier.

All around us are the consequences of the most significant technological, and hence cultural, revolution in generations.

We are living in one of those rare moments in history when things may come apart and be put back together again in ways that will determine the future for decades or more, despite the endless innovations of technology.

If you look at the history of our country over the last 100 years, there have been periods where science and research have been celebrated. They were really kind of held up as heroes in society, which encouraged a generation of people to go into these fields.

Much of contemporary science is really the length and shadow of the technology we apply.
