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

Science is what scientists do.

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

I always say that keeping abreast of science should never be seen as a chore. It should be something you do naturally. I don't sit there reading 'New Scientist,' putting post-it notes next to ideas.

Throughout history, people have studied pure science from a desire to understand the universe rather than practical applications for commercial gain. But their discoveries later turned out to have great practical benefits.

My science teachers always encouraged their classes to 'go out and discover something' because all scientific endeavors depend on observation and experimentation. Through such pursuits, anyone can find something new to science, and if it's truly novel, the entire edifice of science might have to be restructured.

Science is what we understand well enough to explain to a computer. Art is everything else we do.

I was interested in science before I even knew what science was.
