Science is not a subject you took in school. It's life. We are wrapped by it, in it, with it.

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.

It's progress I think, that science has joined philosophy, metaphysics & religion as subjects drunk people argue about in bars.

I don't like trying to influence politicians, who are themselves representative of huge numbers of people. As an educator, I'd rather enlighten the people and educate the people and let they be the ones who put the pressure on their elected officials.

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

You can get an Egg McMuffin all day; you just can't get the hamburger all day.

We have people who believe they are scientifically literate but, in fact, are not.
