Science fiction is the WikiLeaks of science, getting word to the public about what cutting-edge research really means.
There is no place in world where you can do higher education better than in the UK.
Google is really committed to improving everything. So it has been really fun to participate in all of their different moonshots.
Great wealth could make an enormous difference over the next decade if they sensibly support the scientific elite. Just the elite. Because the elite makes most of the progress. You should worry about people who produce really novel inventions, not pedantic hacks.
The pace of discovery is going unbelievably fast.
Progress in science depends on new techniques, new discoveries and new ideas, probably in that order.
Unprecedented opportunities for new scientific experience ...
When you are on the very frontier of science, everything is chaotic.
Radical innovation is difficult to fund. It seems scary. And the really radical things seem even more scary.
As time passes and the more advanced science becomes, the more interesting it becomes.
I got to spend all of my time every day at work reading and editing papers about cutting-edge technical research and getting paid for it. Then I'd go home at night and turn what I learned into science fiction stories.
I had considered MIT a place where brilliant people came.
At NIH, what tends to happen is that the proven researchers tend to get the money. New researchers, younger researchers, or people on the cutting edge don't get the money until they have gray beards.
Motto for a research laboratory: what we work on today, others will first think of tomorrow.
When you take the best of universities in the world, all of them have research and education contiguous; the person who teaches you could be a Nobel laureate. Some subjects are at the tri-junction of many subjects put together.
Modern science is fast-moving, and no laboratory can exist for long with a program based on old facilities. Innovation and renewal are required to keep a laboratory on the frontiers of science.
I'm really fortunate to be at Stanford. I go home every 10 weeks, but Stanford apart from being just a wonderful university is one of the places that are part of a great conversation.
The Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics is the world's greatest pure physics thinktank, and it's located here in Canada, in Waterloo, Ont.
In science the new is an advance; but in morals, as contradicting our inner ideals and historic idols, it is ever a retrogression.
I have long aspired to make our company a noble prototype of industry, penetrating in science, reliable in engineering, creative in aesthetics and wholesomely prosperous in economics.
We have so many thousands of sites to find across the globe and new techniques to test. The field keeps evolving with the technology, which makes things exciting.
A war is coming, a battle that will stretch from the prehistoric forests of the ancient past to the cutting-edge research labs of today, all to reveal a true mystery buried deep within our DNA, a mystery that will leave readers changed forever .
The leading edge of the best science in the world is being driven by private money, and investment money because of the scarcity of government money to do this. It's not only by far the best and most advanced science, we're driving the equation at Human Longevity that everyone else is beginning to follow as well.
Science consistently produces a new crop of miraculous truths and dazzling devices every year.
Basic research is to work at the very edge, the very border of, of knowledge, and move that border forward. You look and look for new secrets, and you don't know where it's going to lead you.
