Some cultural phenomena bear a striking resemblance to the cells of cell biology, actively preserving themselves in their social environments, finding the nutrients they need and fending off the causes of their dissolution. – Daniel Dennett
One of the central mysteries of biology is why the genome is largely identical from cell to cell, even though cells do different things. – Erez Lieberman Aiden
The human mind evolved to believe in the gods. It did not evolve to believe in biology. – E. O. Wilson
Much of modern molecular biology and microbiology has been based on the effort to decipher the basic code of life, which is made up of four nucleotides: adenine, thymine, cytosine, and guanine. – Michael Specter
Natural selection is not gene centrist and nor is biology all about genes; our comprehending minds are a result of our fast evolving culture. – Daniel Dennett
As we decipher our biology and learn to modify and adjust it, we are learning to modify ourselves – and we will do so. No laws will stop this. – Gregory Stock
I don’t find biology as interesting as politics and humanism. I talk more about existential stuff. – Dana Carvey
And the actual achievements of biology are explanations in terms of mechanisms founded on physics and chemistry, which is not the same thing as explanations in terms of physics and chemistry. – Michael Polanyi
One of the major lessons in all of biochemistry, cell biology and molecular medicine is that when proteins operate at the sub cellular level, they behave in a certain way as if they’re mechanical machinery. – James Rothman
I have this rather amazing report which, roughly speaking, says I was the worst student the biology master had ever taught. – John Gurdon
As in all of biology, comparative studies showing differences among species are often helpful for a better understanding of the basic mechanisms; with all its advantages, there is a danger of clinging exclusively to one model organism. – John Tyler Bonner
Evolution, cell biology, biochemistry, and developmental biology have made extraordinary progress in the last hundred years – much of it since I was weaned on schoolboy biology in the 1930s. Most striking of all is the sudden eruption of molecular biology starting in the 1950s. – John Tyler Bonner
Work by Maria Blasco, Calvin Harley, Michael Fossel, Woodring Wright and Shay and Ronald Depinho in particular are of interest but there are literally thousands of articles relating to telomerase, telomeres and the biology behind it. – Liz Parrish
Whether conservative or liberal, fundamentalist or agnostic, the more students learn of biology, the more they accept evolution. – Kenneth R. Miller
In my lab, we’re interested in the transition from chemistry to early biology on the early earth. – Jack W. Szostak
As a young boy, I was obsessed with endangered species and the extinct species that men killed off. Biology was the subject in school that I was incredibly passionate about. – Leonardo DiCaprio
I started taking a basic biology course, and I really loved it. I started asking research questions incessantly. I was drawn very quickly to biology. – James Rothman
High school was interesting, because I went from a public school middle school to an academy where the first year we were doing Latin, chemistry, biology. I mean, I was woefully unprepared for the type of study. – Kyle Chandler
It will be the mother of all telescopes, and you can bet it will do for astronomy what genome sequencing is doing for biology. The clumsy, if utilitarian, name of this mirrored monster is Large Synoptic Survey Telescope, or LSST. You can’t use it yet, but a peak in the Chilean Andes has been decapitated to provide a level spot for placement. – Seth Shostak
You can’t even begin to understand biology, you can’t understand life, unless you understand what it’s all there for, how it arose – and that means evolution. – Richard Dawkins
Biology – DNA – is technology. It is coding. It is physical coding, but still code. – Ryan Bethencourt
IndieBio’s capital, facilities and deep mentoring by a network of biotech specific experts have the potential to spawn the Google’s, Facebook’s and Instagram’s of biology. – Ryan Bethencourt
