If there were a science of human beings it would be anthropology that aims at understanding the totality of experience through structural context. – Wilhelm Dilthey
I fought for seven years to have creche facilities at the Okinawa Institute of Science of Technology – and was ultimately successful. Less successful have been efforts to get a creche at the new Crick Institute in London, but this is something I will continue to push for. – Tim Hunt
Weapons of mass destruction aren’t pulled out of a black hat like a white rabbit at a magic show. They’re produced in factories. There’s science and technology involved. They’re not produced in a hole in the ground or in a basement. – Scott Ritter
I believe the universe is governed by the laws of science. The laws may have been decreed by God, but God does not intervene to break the laws. – Stephen Hawking
I think science has begun to demonstrate that aging is a disease. If it is, it can be cured. – Tom Robbins
Science fiction was one of those places, particularly during the McCarthy era, where you could write whatever you wanted because it was beneath contempt. They didn’t bother censoring it. – William Gibson
I love technology, and I love science. It’s just always all in the way you use it. So there’s no – you can’t really blame anything on the technology. It’s just the way people use it, and it always has been. – Steve Martin
In science, technology, engineering and mathematics, men far outnumber women in the classroom and the boardroom. – Weili Dai
I wrote the very first stories in science fiction which dealt with homosexuality, The World Well Lost and Affair With a Green Monkey. – Theodore Sturgeon
I have to do more close research and fact checking for the science fiction. This is not however to say that writing good fantasy does not involve doing good research. – Sarah Zettel
The mysteriousness and mystique of space is such, that science fiction attempts to tantalize you by telling you a story that could possibly be out there and that’s the appeal of science fiction. – William Shatner
The violent reaction on the recent development of modern physics can only be understood when one realises that here the foundations of physics have started moving; and that this motion has caused the feeling that the ground would be cut from science. – Werner Heisenberg
Of course I would disagree that there’s a definitive science that has concluded that mankind has turned the earth’s thermostat up and that we can turn the earth’s thermostat down at will, we just haven’t yet found the will. That’s the argument on climate change. – Steve King
Scientists tend to be skeptical, but the weakness of the community of science is that it tends to move into preformed establishment modes that say this is the only way of doing science, the only valid view. – Walter Gilbert
Though we do need more women to graduate with technical degrees, I always like to remind women that you don’t need to have science or technology degrees to build a career in tech. – Susan Wojcicki
I can be a bit of a science geek. I tend more towards reading about brain science, neuroscience. – William Mapother
I find it greatly disturbing that the Bush administration has used political and religious ideologies to influence national policy on science and medicine. – Tammy Baldwin
We keep, in science, getting a more and more sophisticated view of our essential ignorance. – Warren Weaver
I am tired of all this sort of thing called science here… We have spent millions in that sort of thing for the last few years, and it is time it should be stopped. – Simon Cameron
When I got my PhD, it was a time when there were just no jobs for PhDs. Period. PhDs were getting the lowest paid technician jobs, if they were lucky, in any kind of science. – Shannon Lucid
The historian of science may be tempted to exclaim that when paradigms change, the world itself changes with them. – Thomas Kuhn
Astronomers have been bewildered by the theory of an expanding universe, but there is no less expansion in the moral infinite of the universe of man. As far as the frontiers of science are pushed back, over the extended arc of these frontiers one will hear the poet’s hounds on the chase. – Saint-John Perse
Make-believe colors the past with innocent distortion, and it swirls ahead of us in a thousand ways in science, in politics, in every bold intention. – Shirley Temple
For years I’ve wanted to write a book about mummies, and had been following the science of mummy CT scans when the premise for ‘The Keepsake’ occurred to me: what if an ‘ancient’ mummy turns out to have a bullet in its leg? How does a modern murder victim get turned into a mummy? – Tess Gerritsen
The universe is governed by science. But science tells us that we can’t solve the equations, directly in the abstract. – Stephen Hawking
The romantic appeal of solar sailing has ensured that its advocates consistently come from the worlds of both science fiction and science fact. – Thomas Mallon
