You don't need to be a scientist to know Earth's age or that life evolved. You just need be one who embraces objective truths

In science, if you don't do it, somebody else will. Whereas in art, if Beethoven didn't compose the 'Ninth Symphony,' no one else before or after is going to compose the 'Ninth Symphony' that he composed; no one else is going to paint 'Starry Night' by van Gogh.

The StarTalks - while kids can watch them, they're actually targeted at adults. Because adults outnumber kids five to one, and adults vote, and adults wield resources, and adults are heads of agencies. So if we're going to affect policy, or affect attitudes, for me, the adults have always been the target population.

We are part of this universe; we are in this universe, but perhaps more important than both of those facts, is that the universe is in us.

I remain unconvinced that anything other than rapid decomposition is the fate of my body and mind after death.

I see myself in pop culture. I listen to pop music, I do pop things, and I'm also a scientist.

Scientific inquiry shouldn't stop just because a reasonable explanation has apparently been found.
