At a time when science plays such a powerful role in the life of society, when the destiny of the whole of mankind may hinge on the results of scientific research, it is incumbent on all scientists to be fully conscious of that role, and conduct themselves accordingly.

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

As history has shown, pure science research ultimately ends up applying to something. We just don't know it at the time.

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.

Science is an enterprise that should be cherished as an activity of the free human mind. Because it transforms who we are, how we live, and it gives us an understanding of our place in the universe.

Science is about applying what we know and asking what we don't know.

Science shouldn't be just for scientists, and there are encouraging signs that it is becoming more pervasive in culture and the media.

The fundamental essence of science, which I think we've lost in our education system, is poking something with a stick and seeing what happens. Embrace that process of inquiry.

The main purpose of science is simplicity and as we understand more things, everything is becoming simpler.

In nature, when you conduct science, it is the natural world that is the ultimate decider in what is true and what is not.
