Lab Quotations

The Web meant that I didn't have to schlep a whole bunch of stuff to a museum and fight with all their constraints and make something that, in the end, only 150 people would actually get out to see. Instead, I could put something together in my lab and make it accessible to the world.

Everybody, as soon as they do a good experiment, their first thought in this lab is, 'That can't be right. I must have screwed it up. What did I do wrong?' And that's the best kind of scientist because they're filled with this self-doubt. And if I'm going to be honest, that's who I am. And it's what drives me.

I've been a children's book editor, a nanny, a camp counselor, a barista, a research lab assistant, and a movie theater ticket-taker.

When I got started, I was a sideshow. At my first Consumer Electronics Show, in 1977 in Chicago, people came from all over the floor to see the 'lady programmer.' They had me dressed in a turquoise lab coat with my name embroidered on the pocket.

It's funny, because I was trained as a dramatic actor at New York's Colonnades Theater Lab in the '70s, along with Jeff Goldblum, Danny DeVito and Rhea Perlman. People I worked with there saw a comedian in me. I'm still most at home in comedy.

Most of us were probably less than immaculately honest as teenagers; it's practically encoded into adolescence that you savor your secrets, dress in disguise, carve out some space for experiments and accidents and all the combustible lab work of becoming who you are.

Every bad joke, every endorsement deal, all of the things that a typical host would normally get creamed for, people don't mind, because they know I don't cheat when it comes to the work I actually try. I'm a lab rat. I'm a perpetual apprentice. The joke is on me if there is one.

A scientist worthy of a lab coat should be able to make original discoveries while wearing a clown suit, or give a lecture in a high squeaky voice from inhaling helium. It is written nowhere in the math of probability theory that one may have no fun.

Stanley Kubrick knew we had good graphics around MIT and came to my lab to find out how to do it. We had some really good stuff. I was very impressed with Kubrick; he knew all the graphics work I had ever heard of, and probably more.

I'm generally slow to anger, quick to forgive, and I take in information before making decisions. So no matter how controversial the decision, my general demeanour is to put on white lab coat and gloves and look at the evidence, weigh the arguments and see what makes sense.

I grew up in Los Alamos, New Mexico, which is my hometown. In Los Alamos is, for people who don't know, a nuclear lab that built the atomic bomb. The only reason the town exists is to make nuclear weapons and weapons of mass destruction, and that's still happening there.

But it really wasn't until three to four years later, when we had an opportunity in the lab to make very detailed observations, and comparisons with other fossil discoveries, that we realized she was a new species of human ancestor.

I had many moments of disappointment, despondency, and exhaustion, but I always found that by reading the literature and showing up at my lab looking at the data as they emerged day by day and discussing them with my students and postdoctoral fellows, I would gain a notion of what to do next.

The Momofuku Culinary Lab started as a space where we could focus on creating and innovating. I didn't want us to worry about working on projects in a restaurant; there are just too many distractions in service and running a kitchen to be able to focus on creating your dishes.

'Killer Joe' was originally written in 1991 and first produced in '93 at the Next Theater's Lab - a 40 seat black box theater in Evanston, Illinois - back when I was getting started. I was just 25 and I had been acting for awhile, but it was my first play and the one that really got me noticed, especially by Steppenwolf.

I have fallen in love with people in the lab, and people in the lab have fallen in love with me, and it's very disruptive to the science because it's terribly important that, in a lab, people are on a level playing field.

When I was running the marathons in Munich, I always trained by myself. Between the demands of graduate work and a young family, I had to train at unusual hours. A few times, I ran home from my lab late at night, which was 20 kilometers out of town.

We who grew up with 'drop and cover' drills know all too well what wonders science can bring us, and we like to see the guy in the white lab coat suffer a little. Or a lot.

While the lab plays an enormous role, research is also influenced by inner peace of mind and one's family environment, depending on what stage of one's life and career a scientist is at.

I realized that lab research was the perfect path for me. It allowed me to spend every day figuring out mysteries/puzzles that have to do with what make us alive. What could be a bigger mystery or puzzle?

Many of the most eloquent people I have ever met work in lab coats every day.

I don't walk into the lab in the morning thinking, 'I am a woman, and I will carry out an experiment that will conquer the world.' I am a scientist, not male or female. A scientist.

Like the women in my family, I've found the women in my lab a hard-nosed, ambitious lot who have gone on to be faculty members at top universities. In my own family, it is my father who is prone to bursting into tears.

One of the biggest barriers research and academic institutions face is the ability to get discoveries made in the lab into clinical testing. The new Exploratory IND guidance emphasizes the flexibility available to researchers when conducting early clinical testing of these cutting-edge treatments. As we enter the era of personalized medicine, these exploratory approaches enable scientists to take full advantage of new technologies to target the development of more individualized therapies.

I work on the floor with them. Lab coats scare them, so for the animals, it's better to wear regular clothes.

New 9-1-1 technologies and services must meet public safety's rigorous standards for reliability, security, and availability. Extending our integration lab to support these new technologies and services will help our customers and partners ensure these standards are met before new 9-1-1 capabilities are introduced into live networks.

One of the things that made Epic strong when I wrote the original code was that it never occurred to me to do anything other than put the patient at the center. I developed a clinical system at a time when the health care world had pretty much only billing and lab systems available.

One-third of all female infertility is the result of blocked fallopian tubes. If fertilization could be done in the lab and then the fertilized egg implanted in the womb, it would get around that problem. Millions of women who cannot have children would suddenly be able to.

My first impression, as compared to four years ago, is that there's a lot more stuff and more lab equipment here. Plus there's also been an accumulation of spare parts, as well as trash, that hasn't been able to come back.

My father worked in a scientific lab where he designed and built glass instruments. He was regarded as brilliant at his job and once constructed a human brain in glass just to show off his skills.

Right now it ain't looking good. We've got a lot of work to do. We've got to go back in the lab and get to work.

My first summer in college I worked in a fruit fly lab where I had two jobs: dissect the fruit fly larvae brains and incinerate the old tubes of flies.

If they had homeless people, human beings, inside the lab against their will and they were doing needless, senseless experiments on them, people would be out in the streets marching. There would be a revolution. SHAC is saying that these animals are equal to humans in that they shouldn't have to undergo needless pain and suffering.

My lab and academic work fill my day from about 9 am to 7 p.m. Then I zoom out the lens to work on my other writing.

Medicine must continually improve, and this depends on partnerships of clinical and basic science work. These summer projects let students see how this kind of work goes on both in the lab and the clinic and gives them a chance to see if this combination is right for them.

Old-school viewers remain adamant that 'The Real World' has deteriorated, as if the original enterprise were some pristine experiment that got sullied as the conditions in the lab got sloppier.

I can't say I was surprised the worms were alive, because we spin them up to 2,000 G's in the lab without thinking about it. What surprised me was that they found the canisters at all.

I can't say I was surprised the worms were alive because we spin them up to 2,000 G's in the lab without thinking about it. What surprised me was that they found the canisters at all.

From an early age, I knew I would become a scientist. It may have been my brother Sam's doing. He interested me in the laws of falling bodies when I was ten and helped my father equip a basement chemistry lab for me when I was fifteen. I became skilled in the synthesis of selenium halides.

I get into lab early and leave a bit early, too. So I like to have an hour or two before everybody comes in.

I get really excited about specific therapies, personalized therapies. Like, let's say, taking a piece of someone's tumor and testing a bunch of treatments in a lab and being able to come up with the right therapy for that specific patient.

I enjoyed biology in high school, and that brought me to a research lab at U.C. Santa Barbara. I loved doing experiments, and I had fun with them. I realized this kind of problem-solving fit my intellectual style.

But the cath lab isn't waiting for you to have a heart attack. We have to react.

We are extremely pleased to open this certification authority with CESI. The Chinese have taken an active and leading role in using the Linux Standard Base and driving certifications to our standard. This certification lab will increase the number of Linux applications and ensure that Linux does not fragment.

What you see in the lab is not necessarily what happens when you take your child home.

I have a half Lab and half golden retriever named Henry and then the other one, Lucy, is half Akita and half something else.

He's a Lab lover, too. And he knew how I was feeling about wanting my dog back.

What else can it be? ... Do you think I'm going to trust some guy in a French lab to open my samples and say they're positive and announce that to the world and not give me the chance to defend myself? That's ludicrous. There is no way you can do that.

We feel if we could do this in our lab for a couple hundred bucks, what can the biggest car manufacturers in the world do with all the facilities they have? And we're giving them five to seven years to do it.

Lab buildings are fun because scientists are so passionate. Researchers are very concerned and knowledgeable about their space and have a lot of ideas of how it should work, because they realize it can make a big difference in how productive they are.

Lab test results came out about midnight last night and came out as positive,

Step by step, we're continuing to build a strong, modern infrastructure for life sciences research at KU. New lab space in the MRB, and new core research service space in the SBC, gives us the capacity to expand our existing drug discovery and development efforts. This supports everything else we're doing to advance basic research at KU.

Our lab has seen an awful lot of work. It's as busy as we've seen in recent memory.

My wife and I have four children, and none of them are in lab science, so clearly I returned home at night and presented a fairly unattractive example of a scientific life.

Managing Linux in a mixed environment ... at Microsoft? A look inside the Linux/Open Source Software Lab at Microsoft.

I think that a lot of physicians really see drug testing as a fairly simple lab test when, in fact, it is not at all.

I think that the incident that we dealt with this week was a serious incident. I think security at our lab is very strong, however. The lab has always taken security very seriously and we have a program in place that I think will address issues like these in the future.

Our focus is catching the person or people responsible for this. There was evidence that we were able to get from the car, and that's ... not come back from the crime lab yet.

Keeping tabs on IT costs is daunting for any organization facing a maze of platforms and systems that traditionally have been tracked separately and manually. CIMS Lab software helps companies take control of their IT costs - a key advantage of IT service management.

It didn't have anyone's prints on it, ... because the rubber grip wasn't conducive to prints. We had an expert from the crime lab testifying about why there were no prints.

I wasn't interested in test lab cost savings; I was interested in maintaining an exceptional level of product quality. To do that, I needed a lab that could scale, execute at high speeds, and amortize expensive equipment as effectively as possible. We'll always have more engineers generating code than equipment to test it; it's the nature of the business.

The art of phlebotomy originated with bloodletting in 1400 B.C., and the modern clinical lab emerged in the 1960s - and it has not fundamentally evolved since then. You go in, sit down, they put a tourniquet on your arm, stick you with a needle, take these tubes and tubes of blood.

We're working on getting the lab set up.

We have also seen some improvements in access times to lab results.

You can be certain that (Jamieson) will work to promote the reform of engineering education. While she may not be in the classroom or lab as much the next few years, she will still be working on students' behalf.

You can be distracted by all the facts and figure on a lab report. But you always should look at the diamond. The lab report doesn't necessarily say that the diamond is pretty, it only gives the physical characteristics of the stone.

Most farmers still can't believe the news and are hoping the lab tests confirming bird flu are wrong.

Most G.M.Os undergo rigorous lab testing to check human and animal tolerance. If something is found to cause an adverse reaction, it is not put on sale, it's as simple as that. Conventional crops don't have that advantage.

The 1860s-era house, which has about 21 rooms, had fallen into disrepair over the years. It had been split into several apartments, and police found a methamphetamine lab in one of the apartments two years ago. The museum plans to sell fudge made with recipes from the now-closed Arnold's Candies of Peru. At his shows, Porter gave away boxes of the candy as presents.

Most of them take around 72 hours. You mail it to a lab and they do an analysis.

We got the results today from the lab that shows the water's fine.

we need to think about embedding technology and innovation right throughout the economy and not get so focused on clusters of what we think of as high-tech companies with people in white lab coats.

We were a bit nervous when a few of the entourage came out scouting the site the previous day that they would change their minds about the tour. But they were actually excited and explained that Mr. Johnson was first a scientist and would really be interested in the equipment, the lab and the whole process. They are a very hands-on agency and told us they spend a lot of time in places like this.

We can peek into evolution's lab notebook and see what went on there.

We were unable to replace that work in the quarter. The work postponed in the analytical lab has been completed in the current quarter. We see a very bright future. We have a lot of bookings.

We were under the assumption that the district knew of our continued arrangement with the lab after Flow Science left,

We had information, lab tests, showing that cement kiln dust did not leach. Only through time and experience have we learned it does leach. It's a unique substance.

We really need to incorporate more modern science into the process. We have this tremendous science in the lab discovering new innovations that would help people, but the process for development is actually what we did 100 years ago.

The fact that PFOA can cross the placenta from the mother to child is very troubling, given the fact that this is a chemical that is broadly toxic and linked to birth defects in lab animals.

We've seen some changes in testing, I can test a sample of hay--after I get it to the lab -- in as little as ten minutes, if I do a wet test.

When I was 10 years old, a cousin of mine took me on a tour of his medical school. And as a special treat, he took me to the pathology lab and took a real human brain out of the jar and placed it in my hands. And there it was, the seat of human consciousness, the powerhouse of the human body, sitting in my hands.

The public computer lab is not even close to having your own machine.

There are other places that have basalt. But this is a well-known research lab that had good potential for scientific synergy.

The fact that they don't know the answer means they're not running a properly secured facility. The odds are that it was an accounting error, but it is very possible that one of the persons with access to the lab has removed that material.

The crime lab lost about $1.3 million in equipment and assets. The evidence vault did take on water. (The evidence) all has been recovered.

There are many other viruses it could be. The Ontario Public Health lab is working very hard on identifying which one of those viruses it might be.

The real question to come out of the discussion is: what is the public commitment and public investment in higher education. To what extent are we going to invest in research activity in the lab and equipment that goes with it, and to what extent do lawmakers see it tied to young people getting jobs and growth of the economy.

The reason why we chose Beijing for the lab is that China has achieved remarkable progress in the research and development of Linux OS.

We were at the Argonne Lab in Chicago on Monday collecting data, and by Thursday we were able to deposit two solved protein structures in the Protein Data Bank.

We've wired it so we can have a computer lab in here as well as a library. We are beginning to compile a library now. Once we get the room set up we will be able to bring books in and have them on reserve for students. Ultimately we hope to have a library. We will have a full service institution down here.

Until now, three children are being treated in a hospital . . . two are suspected of having the symptoms of bird flu based on the lab tests. The other one is still under observation,

Until now, three children are being treated in a hospital ... two are suspected of having the symptoms of bird flu based on the lab tests. The other one is still under observation.

There is no one formula. Every formula is unique. It really depends on your individual skin as to what we put in. ... Unlike mass products that try to put in a single active ingredient and then try to sell it to everyone, we don't do that at Lab 21.

Years ago we always took our best clinicians out of the lab and put them into administrative positions, which removed all the good ones from the clinics. They weren't really trained to handle personnel and finance issues though.

Until 1985, when my lab found the protein they are made of, aquaporins hadn't yet been identified. There had been a controversy in biology for more than 100 years about how water moved through cells.

Until around 2000, the lab did not do as good a job at promoting its research program as it does now. In the local community, there was a lot of concern.

We know from the testing that's been done so far that this is not influenza, we know this is not SARS, we know this is not avian influenza. There are many other viruses it could be ... and the Ontario Public Health lab is working very hard on identifying which one of those viruses it might be.

With the probable cases, we've received enough information to classify them by symptoms as mumps, but we don't have lab confirmation. The suspect case is being tested, but we don't have lab confirmation or enough information to assess the symptoms.

Dr. Josef Mengele, who conducted experiments on Jews and Gypsies at Auschwitz (he had two doctorates, by the way) would have fit in quite nicely at Columbia, ... To paraphrase Theodor Adorno, the German Jewish philosopher who fled Nazi Germany, 'Auschwitz begins wherever somebody looks at a Columbia lab and thinks: they're only animals.'

Driven up by relatively high medication and lab or test errors, at 34 percent, the spread between the United States and the countries with the lowest error rates was wide.
