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

By asking a novel question that you don't know the answer to, you discover whether you can formulate a way of finding the answer, and you stretch your own mind, and very often you learn something new.

The virtues of science are skepticism and independence of thought.

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

The human's place in the universe will be set in the scheme of evolution, the product of our biological inheritance.

We are embedded in a biological world and related to the organisms around us.

Today we try to identify a gene and then study its properties.
