Science has always been my preoccupation and when you think a breakthrough is possible, it is terribly exciting.

No one may have the guts to say this, but if we could make better human beings by knowing how to add genes, why shouldn't we?

As an educator, I have always striven to see that the fruits of the American Dream are available to all.

Ever since we achieved a breakthrough in the area of recombinant DNA in 1973, left-wing nuts and environmental kooks have been screaming that we will create some kind of Frankenstein bug or Andromeda Strain that will destroy us all.

If I had been married earlier in life, I wouldn't have seen the double helix. I would have been taking care of the kids on Saturday. On the other hand, I was lonely a lot of the time.

I am thrilled to see my genome.

Remember, grab you're future with both hands and mold it into what you want it to be. It's the determined, who create the life they want, while the idle sit by and watch it fade away into nothingness. The future belongs to the exceptional individuals, who can see the light of the future, at the end of the tunnel.
