Industrial opportunities are going to stem more from the biological sciences than from chemistry and physics. I see biology as being the greatest area of scientific breakthroughs in the next generation.

We're at the beginning of the digitization and automation of biotech.

I see, in the future, bioengineered almost everything you can imagine that we use.

I think the human race made a big mistake at the beginning of the industrial revolution, we leaped for the mechanical things, people need the use of their hands to feel creative.

I am always struck by the fact that human awareness of our place in nature, like so much of modern science, began with the Industrial Revolution.

We need to be both conscious and competent to design products that emulate nature's life cycles, making sure that they endure and are either recycled or absorbed.

I had been impressed by the fact that biological systems were based on molecular machines and that we were learning to design and build these sorts of things.

We are increasingly becoming cyborg-like beings. We are becoming literally what we create. Biology, physics, and technology are evolving towards one and the same thing.

Our world is built on biology and once we begin to understand it, it then becomes a technology.

The rate of technological and human physiological change in the 20th century has been remarkable. Beyond that, a synergy between the improved technology and physiology is more than the simple addition of the two.
