Science fiction rarely is about scientists doing real science, in its slowness, its vagueness, the sort of tedious quality of getting out there and digging amongst rocks and then trying to convince people that what you're seeing justifies the conclusions you're making.
My passion for innovation and my interest in the 'business of science' has seen Biocon commercialize many innovative platforms and products.
When push comes to shove, it ain't the science that's going to lift you up - it's the belief, the spiritual side of life, that's going to lift you up, no matter what religion you are.
It is a good morning exercise for a research scientist to discard a pet hypothesis every day before breakfast. It keeps him young.
Truth in science can be defined as the working hypothesis best suited to open the way to the next better one.
Science is magic that works.
I had no talent for science. What was infinitely worse: all my fraternity brothers were engineers.
As a Humanist, I love science. I hate superstition, which could never have given us A-bombs.
What I do is not rocket science, but I sure do love it.
There has no doubt to be fundamental research in science, but applied research is equally important for new improvements and changes in our techniques.
We should provide the meaning of the universe in the meaning of our own lives. So I think science doesn't necessarily have to get in the way of kind of spiritual fulfillment.
Science is the captain, and practice the soldiers.
Unforeseen surprises are the rule in science, not the exception. Remember: Stuff happens.
Science to me is sufficiently weird and interesting, and stranger than fiction.
The word 'universe' is obviously not intended to have a plural, but science has evolved in such a way that we need a plural noun for something similar to what we ordinarily call our universe.
When I investigate and when I discover that the forces of the heavens and the planets are within ourselves, then truly I seem to be living among the gods.
Biology, meaning the science of all life, is a late notion.
The major thing is to view biology as an information science.
However far modern science and techniques have fallen short of their inherent possibilities, they have taught mankind at least one lesson; nothing is impossible.
The cloning of humans is on most of the lists of things to worry about from Science, along with behaviour control, genetic engineering, transplanted heads, computer poetry and the unrestrained growth of plastic flowers.
I did, although I didn't read from page 1 to page 187 but I read chunks of it. I did a little bit of science when I was in the university so I was able to understand the graphs and pie charts and stuff like that. It was extremely dry.
Facts are the air of scientists. Without them you can never fly.
Creativity is essential to particle physics, cosmology, and to mathematics, and to other fields of science, just as it is to its more widely acknowledged beneficiaries - the arts and humanities.
I've always been interested in medicine and was pleased when my brother became a doctor. But after thinking seriously about that field, I realized that what intrigued me was not the science, not the chemistry or biology of medicine, but the narrative - the story of each patient, each illness.
The more thoroughly I conduct scientific research, the more I believe that science excludes atheism.
In science there is only physics; all the rest is stamp collecting.
There are no shortcuts in evolution.
There are no such things as applied sciences, only applications of science.
There does not exist a category of science to which one can give the name applied science. There are science and the applications of science, bound together as the fruit of the tree which bears it.
Science knows no country, because knowledge belongs to humanity, and is the torch which illuminates the world. Science is the highest personification of the nation because that nation will remain the first which carries the furthest the works of thought and intelligence.

Shun no toil to make yourself remarkable by some talent or other; yet do not devote yourself to one branch exclusively. Strive to get clear notions about all. Give up no science entirely; for science is but one.
Music is an intrinsic part of life; therefore, it is important to transport different forms of artistic expression, science, and mathematics into compositions.
Man has to awaken to wonder - and so perhaps do peoples. Science is a way of sending him to sleep again.
No great advance has been made in science, politics, or religion without controversy.
Science provides an understanding of a universal experience. Arts provide a universal understanding of a personal experience.
The difference between science and the arts is not that they are different sides of the same coin even, or even different parts of the same continuum, but rather, they are manifestations of the same thing. The arts and sciences are avatars of human creativity.
We look at science as something very elite, which only a few people can learn. That's just not true. You just have to start early and give kids a foundation. Kids live up, or down, to expectations.
I actually consider myself as totally privileged to be able to serve science and medicine in a global fashion, because science and medicine know no boundaries.
The constitution of the universe is total natural law. 'Natural law,' we say from the field of science. 'Will of God,' we say from the field of religion. It's the same thing.
One can not impede scientific progress.
As long as men are free to ask what they must, free to say what they think, free to think what they will, freedom can never be lost and science can never regress.
Nothing has such power to broaden the mind as the ability to investigate systematically and truly all that comes under thy observation in life.
History is, in its essentials, the science of change. It knows and it teaches that it is impossible to find two events that are ever exactly alike, because the conditions from which they spring are never identical.
I've never thought of acting as rocket science - you put on the costume, get your hair cut, and that's it, really.
Fiction is not necessarily about what you know, it's about how you feel. That is the truth about fiction, and the other truth is that all science is a tool, and we use our tools not to actualise what we know, but to implement how we feel.
Science never makes things that do not have to do with what we feel, by which I mean what we want and what we fear.
Science is a tool, and we invent tools to do things we want. It's a question of how those tools are used by people.
Please don't make the mistake of thinking that 'Oryx and Crake' is anti-science. Science is a way of knowing, and a tool. Like all ways of knowing and tools, it can be turned to bad uses. And it can be bought and sold, and it often is. But it is not in itself bad. Like electricity, it's neutral.
