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

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.

Science is an integral part of culture. It's not this foreign thing, done by an arcane priesthood. It's one of the glories of the human intellectual tradition.

Science is a perception of the world around us. Science is a place where what you find in nature pleases you.

Our society, the dominant culture doesn't like science. It doesn't like technology.

I've been thinking about the distorted view of science that prevails in our culture. I've been wondering about this, because our civilization is completely dependent on science and high technology, yet most of us are alienated from science.

Science is a way of thinking much more than it is a body of knowledge.

Science is definitely part of America's infrastructure, the engine of prosperity. And yet science is given almost no visibility in the media.

Science is far from the center of the world for most people: even for many with highly sophisticated tastes, interests, and accomplishments.

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.
