Science Quotations | Page 16

We supported East River Science Park. We supported the United Nations tower. We're not an anti-development board. But we do want planning input. We don't look kindly on commercial, nor on buildings taller than the U.N. Secretariat.

We support leading scientists who make concrete and crucial contributions to the innovation of science and technology.

With most new HIV infections occurring in youth and women, particularly in communities of color, ignoring the effectiveness of prevention programs while allowing abstinence-only programs to promote ideology over science is negligent and puts young lives on the line.

When I accepted the commission, I had something of an epiphany in the research I did about the agency, actually the science of espionage. I realized there is a connection between the sciences and the invisible forces of man.

I majored in Computer Science at U.C. Berkeley and worked as a software developer for a couple of years. Then I taught high school computer science for over a decade and a half in Oakland, California.

I majored in political science, and my concentration was U.S. involvement in Latin America in the 20th century.

Humor is rare in science fiction... there's so little of it that it automatically reminds you of other heroes with that acerbic humor when you find it.

Huntington is a great town with much to offer the manufacturing industry. There are many people with great manufacturing skill sets in this region and we have utilized the same manufacturing techniques and supply infrastructure from the old business to augment our knowledge of science to create new technologies.

Hurricane forecasting has gotten much better over the years but it is still not an exact science.

I actually am grateful for Freddy Krueger, because the big surprise to me - with that sort of double punch of science fiction TV series and then the 'Nightmare on Elm Street' phenomenon - was that I got an international celebrity out of it.

Humans can actually read a landscape, go through a lot of rocks - crack them open, throw them, pick up the next one. Rovers are great - they do amazing science - but it is a lot more tedious process; they go much less far than a human can cover in a day.

We may be seeing a coming together of the humanities and the science of human nature.

I am extremely uneasy about this budget. This budget is bad for space science, worse for Earth science and possibly worse for aeronautics.

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.

Greg is very dedicated to the study of science and should be commended for committing his time to assist ESA with their program. We hope to continue this collaboration of efforts with future clients as well.

He was a very personally attractive, excited, and thoughtful guy who cared about a wide range of science. When I first heard there was a question about his work, it came as a very great surprise to me.

He had a passion for democracy, for people to make informed decisions so they can think critically, ... He was rare blend of science and poetry and social consciousness.

He was very concerned about atomic science, ... He took one of the first classes ever offered in the subject. It was then that he became concerned about the long-term effects of science - after all, you can't undo an A-bomb.

I'm always a little bit cautious around invented terminology because so much science fiction is off-putting to the uninitiated. You open up the first page, and it's full of all these made-up words.

Historically when people have been scared and nervous, there's been an uptick in science fantasy horror. You're telling allegorical tales and shining a light back on society.

Historical science is being left in the dust.

Hit the fastball. It's not rocket science. If he keeps hitting fastballs and lays off the other stuff, he'll do well. It really is that simple.

Going to rehearsals of school plays got me out of science. It became clear what inspired me and what dampened my spirit. The only other thing I could do at school was trampolining - it didn't seem to have much future in it.

Going forward, we plan to develop a countrywide mechanism with the Indian department of science and technology for spatial data creation, collection and dissemination that can be used for multiple applications such as disaster management.

Here's what's terrifying about Ebola. Ebola is invisible. It's a monster without a face. With the science that we have now, we can perceive Ebola as being not one thing but as a swarm, and the swarm is moving through the human population and expanding its numbers. It has the qualities of a monster.

There is a method which distinguishes SF from fantasy, though a lot of the science fiction written does not go by that method, and some fantasy does.

There are several places in Vietnam where they're teaching computer science from second grade in class, so they don't have a gender divide because everybody is expected to program.

underscores the need for a proactive U.S. competitiveness agenda that promotes research and development and encourages a work force skilled in math, science and technology, among other things.

For me or anyone else within the Department of Education to state a personal belief on this subject or to presume what may or may not be included in the revised science standards would be nothing short of negligent, ... It would destroy the integrity of the open process we have worked hard to establish.

He's a very very strong advocate of science and education.

I find it hard to take straight fantasy, as I don't believe in magic or the occult, and hard SF leaves me cold because I don't like reading pages and pages of science or scientific extrapolation at the expense of characters and emotion.

There is a lack of talent in technology, and we need to be encouraging kids in school to learn how to code. We need to encourage computer science as a major. We need to encourage entrepreneurism.

What do people really care about his plan or something that was said in a debate? Let's get real here. He takes the bear problem very seriously and that's why he has a plan that's based on science and has multiple approaches.

We can do it, the science supports it. When we start pumping it will clean this area up and that's what we need to do.

We can do science at every step of the way (during the project's expansion).

We can make science personal, like a love story or your best friend.

He gave us the lakes for our Northern boundary, and the rivers stretching to the seas upon whose waters floats our commerce to the nations of the world; while man has done all that can be done by science to bind us together.

He doesn't want to do it where he's asked questions about this by opponents, ... The nature of science is to submit your ideas for scrutiny.

He drew me in. David has the ability to understand where the world of science and medicine is going, and he can relate that in lay terms.

The pursuit of curiosity about the basic facts of nature has proven, with few exceptions throughout the history of medical science, to be the route by which the successful drugs and devices of modern medicine were discovered.

There is need for more science in politics and less politics in science.

He is a consensus builder. He really likes the merits and science of these issues. I'm missing him already.

The purpose of the chair is to help to close the gap between the knowledge of wildlife science and the implementation of wildlife policy. Dr. Peterson's professional experience with environmental conflict resolution on such topics as energy, air quality, water quality and use, land use, cultural attitudes about natural resources and wildlife habitat conservation on private lands make her a first-rate choice for this new position.

We're poised to have an incredible surge forward in life science research . . . and make good use of this money.

Just think for a moment if science really could move in the field of authenticity of works of art. There would be a cultural revolution to say the least, but also, I would say, a market revolution, let me add.

My personal belief is there has to be a master designer who has placed life on Earth, ... The question is, do we require that to be taught as part of the curriculum in science class? That's a tough question.

My views as an individual ought not to be confused with my views as a scientist - the minute you try to mingle God and science, you get into trouble. Metaphysics has its place, and science has its place; don't mix the two.

My whole life has been basically trying to find intelligent students or, you know, highly motivated students and giving them an opportunity to do good science.

My one aim and concentrated purpose shall be and is to show that women can learn, can reason, can compete with men in the grand fields of literature and science . . .

My ongoing investigation is far from an obsession, but an excellent opportunity to provide a platform for applying modern science to a very old, highly visible case in the hope that we might learn something that could help solve modern crimes.

Textbook science is beautiful! Textbook science is comprehensible, unlike mere fascinating words that can never be truly beautiful. Elementary science textbooks describe simple theories, and simplicity is the core of scientific beauty. Fascinating words have no power, nor yet any meaning, without the math.

I went to an inner-city school in Buffalo. We had no money. But our teachers believed in hands-on active learning - there was a mandatory science fair, which was critical.

I went into science, ending up with a Ph.D. in cell biology, but along the way I found out that experimental science involves many hours and days and nights of laboratory work, which is a lot like washing dishes, only a little more challenging. I was too impatient, and maybe a little too sloppy, for it.

My most memorable science fiction experience was 'Star Wars' and seeing R2D2 and C3PO. I fell in love with those robots.

I was an aspiring astrophysicist, and that's how I defined myself, not by my skin color. People didn't treat me as someone with science ambitions. They treated me as someone they thought was going to mug them, or who was a shoplifter.

I was an undergrad math major and a grad student in computer science. I'm hugely introverted, not atypical of math majors.

I was always the kid in school that teachers were getting after to be quiet. My report card had math, A, reading, A, spelling, A, science, A, conduct, F. I was always talking to somebody. They would always take me and put me over in a corner by myself.

Lack of adequate NIH funding is particularly dangerous in a relatively small field like spinal cord injury. For our field to continue to grow and push therapies to the patient, NIH funding is critical. Our scientists are telling us the situation is desperate. How do you tell someone recently paralyzed that the science is there but the funding is not?

Like many science fiction lovers of my generation, I discovered Andre Norton on the shelves at the junior high's library.

Marketers must have rigorous scientific substantiation for the claims they make. In this case, the claims were inflated, but the science just wasn't there.

Looking back, video game design seems a natural fit, although there was no such thing when I was growing up. I built a Tic-Tac-Toe playing machine in my teens which went up in smoke on the night it was scheduled to go to a science fair.

'Mars et Avril' is a science fiction film. It's set in Montreal some 50 years in the future. No one had done that kind of movie in Quebec before because it's expensive, it's set in the future, and it's got tons of visual effects, and it's shot on green screen.

Math and science and special education, those are the areas that are very difficult to fill.

Math and science are the foundation for engineering. That's the basis for technical development.

Math and science are the life blood of the future.

Mathematics is the only science where one never knows what one is talking about nor whether what is said is true

Math gives me satisfaction, to solve things. I don't like easy classes. It is tedious. I like to solve things and knowing that things can be solved. Whenever it involves some kind of science or logic, I'm good at it.

Some of the best science being done today is in the organic sciences.

Some of the most brilliant people in the world doing the most important cutting-edge science will converge in Chicago. They will network. They will interact. They will learn from one another. And the world's total knowledge of this life-saving and life-enhancing science will grow exponentially as a result of what happens here.

That drives the science, to sort out the species and figure out what's going on with the toxins and find out where they're distributed.

That certainly is one approach to take. My own is to acknowledge the inner child and try to work with my first fascination with science fiction. I have tried to build on its idea content and narrative drive rather than to discard them.

Ironically, I had virtually no interest in science fiction.

Stanley Kubrick's '2001' was the door that opened up the possibility of science fiction for me. Everything else up to then was fine, but didn't quite work for me.

Spiderman was my favorite comic book character growing up. I'm a geek, so I love the fact Peter Parker is into science. And I gravitate towards short guys. I'm 5' 9" now, but in junior high, I got picked on because I was 4' 8".

Sports is a game. You need to play by the rules. If the rules aren't being followed, that to me sounds like cheating. But that's not a medical problem. Barry Bonds doesn't look like he's ready for the nursing home, ... I think a lot more science needs to be done to verify what we should do.

Refusal to list Atlantic salmon had little to do with science and everything to do with politics.

Recruiting is not a perfect science but our staff worked hard because we know how important it is.

Recruiting is such an inexact science. I remember a former staff member here, when we said we were going to offer A.J. Hawk a scholarship, he said, 'Oh, man. That's like a (Division) 1-AA fullback coming here.' Now, A.J. will be able to buy a few things here in a few weeks.

Really, that's a cover for creationism, ... Science is limited in studying the natural world and gives its explanations in natural terms.

Physics and computer science help in the programming aspects of making a game. Math helps in balancing game-play and making rules and fine art is obviously helpful in just making a game look good.

Physiology is the science which treats of the properties of organic bodies, animal and vegetable, of the phenomena they present, and of the laws which govern their actions. Inorganic substances are the objects of other sciences, - physics and chemistry.

Picking my topics is sort of a process of elimination for me. Most things don't work for me. I like to cover science and unexpected things happening in labs. Also, theoretical research doesn't work for my style. I need scenes and interactions. Then, humor. I'm having the most fun when I can have fun with my work.

Our policy proposal for science education is that students should learn the strengths and the scientific weaknesses of modern Darwinian theory.

President Bush believes that we need to explore new methods of deriving new lines that would not result in embryos being destroyed. He feels that we should push the envelope of science in a way that does not cross fundamental moral and ethical lines.

Relationships change business outcomes. The question is how do you measure relationship capital and make sure that you're building it effectively? Visible Path understands the problem and is unique in its market approach and application of science to solve it.

Religion can have psychological and social roles, but in terms of really explaining how things work, science works differently. Science is based on material elements at the core.

Our kids will leave this school understanding evolutionary theory and creation theory and being able to work with both right through the science syllabus.

I see L.A. as a workplace rather than somewhere to live. If I don't get out, I go crazy. If you have a little success, people treat you differently, so it's good to keep a healthy perspective. It's acting, not rocket science.

I saw Boy George looking amazing, absolutely unbelievable, and messaged him asking for the number of his nutritionist. I got in touch with her, and she put me on this diet plan, working out which foods do and don't suit me. It's not rocket science - basically, don't eat cake, don't eat bread.

I saw it in August of '77 when I was 11 years old, ... It was the perfect film for a young boy. Up until that point, science fiction/fantasy films were very hit and miss. I remember the buildup for Logan's Run and seeing the movie and being completely disappointed. But Star Wars delivered. I was completely blown away. I've seen every one since.

I think when science fiction is at its worst, it's just spaceships flying around shooting at each other. There has to be a lot more going on than that... science fiction is about exploring new worlds and new ideas, not about ray guns and action, necessarily.

I think we should pay attention to him. We ignore public understanding of science at our peril.

I think we should teach a lot about evolution. In fact, I think we should teach more than the evolutionary science teachers want the students to know. The problem is what we're getting is a philosophy that's claimed to be scientific fact, a lot of distortion in the textbooks, and all the difficult problems left out, because they don't want people to ask tough questions.

I wrote and illustrated a science experiment book called 'The Mad Professor'.

I wrote an editorial piece in 'Science' about the nightly data release and how I thought it was bad for science as a field, I think a few years before Celera was formed.

Just as Wall Street needs to break the hold of the bonus culture, which drives risk-taking that is rational for individuals but damaging to the financial system, so science must break the tyranny of the luxury journals. The result will be better research that better serves science and society.

Just because you went to school and to back-to-school night doesn't mean you know . . . the appropriate set of curriculum for a science course.

Language, philosophy, and science are interwoven into the design of words, which are manipulated to create surprising illusions.

People are becoming more and more interested in science, and that's because they realize that science impacts their daily lives in important ways.

Opening the AMD Greater China headquarters in Zhongguancun Science Park will put AMD at the heart of China's booming technology industry, close to our partners and customers and significant new business opportunities, ... Our x86 licensing agreement and significant financial contribution to China's rural education initiatives align with AMD's long-term commitment to extend Internet access globally as we grow our business in one of the world's fastest-growing markets.
