At a time when science plays such a powerful role in the life of society when the destiny of the whole of mankind may hinge on the results of scientific research it is incumbent on all scientists to be fully conscious of that role and conduct themselves accordingly.

I've tried to be a straight scientist doing the science and reporting it as best I can.

As a kid I wanted to write science fiction and I was never without a book. Later I really got into being a scientist and never thought I'd be writing novels.

One of the problems we've had is that the ICT curriculum in the past has been written for a subject that is changing all the time. I think that what we should have is computer science in the future - and how it fits in to the curriculum is something we need to be talking to scientists to experts in coding and to young people about.

Traditionally scientists have treated the laws of physics as simply 'given ' elegant mathematical relationships that were somehow imprinted on the universe at its birth and fixed thereafter. Inquiry into the origin and nature of the laws was not regarded as a proper part of science.

Much of Indian science seems intuitive and not bound by the rigid thinking of classical scientists.

Though neglectful of their responsibility to protect science scientists are increasingly aware of their responsibility to society.

We didn't set out to be educators or even scientists and we don't purport that what we do is real science but we're demonstrating a methodology by which one can engage and satisfy your curiosity.

Goethe died in 1832. As you know Goethe was very active in science. In fact he did some very good scientific work in plant morphology and mineralogy. But he was quite bitter at the way in which many scientists refused to grant him a hearing because he was a poet and therefore they felt he couldn't be serious.

Many of the mainstream agricultural scientists especially at the agricultural schools but at all of our major universities are tied into all sorts of contractual relationships and consulting relationships with the life science companies.

I've always seen the world through the eyes of a scientist. I love the predictable outcomes that science gives us the control over the world that that can render.

Women tend to be more intuitive or to admit to being intuitive and maybe the hard science approach isn't so attractive. The way that science is taught is very cold. I would never have become a scientist if I had been taught like that.

The artist does not illustrate science (but) he frequently responds to the same interests that a scientist does.

The most wonderful discovery made by scientists is science itself.

Just after World War II this country led the world in science by every way you could measure it yet the number of scientists was a tiny proportion of what it is now.

I also think we need to maintain distinctions - the doctrine of creation is different from a scientific cosmology and we should resist the temptation which sometimes scientists give in to to try to assimilate the concepts of theology to the concepts of science.

I am one of those scientists who feels that it is no longer enough just to get on and do science. We have to devote a significant proportion of our time and resources to defending it from deliberate attack from organised ignorance.

Scientists worldwide agree that the reduction needed to stabilize the climate is actually more like 80 percent.

Some dreamers demand that scientists only discover things that can be used for good.

The scientist is motivated primarily by curiosity and a desire for truth.

Facts are the air of scientists. Without them you can never fly.

When I find myself in the company of scientists I feel like a shabby curate who has strayed by mistake into a room full of dukes.

I am not a scientist. I am rather an impresario of scientists.

If an elderly but distinguished scientist says that something is possible he is almost certainly right but if he says that it is impossible he is very probably wrong.
