Science is international: the best scientists can come from anywhere; they can come from next door, or they can come from a small village in a country anywhere in the world - we need to make it easier.

My childhood and adolescence were filled with visiting scientists from both India and abroad, many of whom would stay with us. A life of science struck me as being both interesting and particularly international in its character.

I think science is a foreign land for many people, so I think of my role as an ambassador's job.

After all, science is essentially international, and it is only through lack of the historical sense that national qualities have been attributed to it.

We have a great sense of togetherness. It is our team spirit that has taken us to this World Cup.

The world is diverse, and having a professional team that mirrors the world is going to be more helpful for us.

We asked ourselves and the world to base decisions on good science, and I really believe the United States can be the leader in delivering that message to our international trading partners.

One of the things that is very important to me is how I feel about my team. And not just what their jobs are but what they mean to one another.

Science is a part of culture. Indeed, it is the only truly global culture because protons and proteins are the same all over the world, and it's the one culture we can all share.

My title is intended to suggest that the community of scientists is organized in a way which resembles certain features of a body politic and works according to economic principles similar to those by which the production of material goods is regulated.
