I had then and still retain an interest in science for its own sake and as a metaphor for our current lives.

Understanding science and pushing the boundaries of science is what makes me immensely satisfied.

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.

Every book is a new journey. I never felt I was an expert on a subject as I embarked on a project.

Science is cool! But it's easy for that to get lost in textbooks sometimes.

The Old Testament is my favourite science fantasy reading.

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.

Science is a wonderful discipline, to which we are deeply indebted.

Over the last 25 years, since a lot of science writing became accessible to layman, I've become quite a consumer of science. As a child, I wasn't streamed into science, and I regret that now.

I had learned that science is a rewarding, active process of discovery, not the passive absorption of what others had discovered.
