The virtues of science are skepticism and independence of thought.

The interaction of the variation in our genes is what's responsible for lots of our attributes and vigor.

It's easier to change what you do than people think it is. If you don't change, your field changes around you.

We haven't been able yet to determine in terms of genes what makes a human being a human and not another mammal.

Science doesn't in the slightest depend on trust. It depends completely on the belief that you can demonstrate something for yourself.

Biology will relate every human gene to the genes of other animals and bacteria, to this great chain of being.

We know specific genes are turned on in specific cells, but we don't know to what extent this happens.
