I think it's tragic that we have this human capacity, which appears to be hardwired, or so the evolutionary biologists say, for collective joy. We have these techniques for generating it that go back thousands of years, and yet we tend not to use this. Barbara Ehrenreich

Anything that makes us take more seriously scientists - or economists or chemists or physicists or biologists - I think is helpful in times when things get distorted because of people not paying attention to all the facts. Barry Barish

Real biologists who actually do the research will tell you that they almost never find a phenomenon, no matter how odd or irrelevant it looks when they first see it, that doesn't prove to serve a function. The outcome itself may be due to small accidents of evolution. E. O. Wilson

You Matter Will First Accidents Research Evolution Tell Outcome Find See Small Never Almost Looks How Real Due Prove Odd Itself Irrelevant May Who Function Serve Actually Biologists Phenomenon

The biologists have essentially been pushed aside. Al Gore's just an opportunist. The person who is really responsible for this overestimate of global warming is Jim Hansen. He consistently exaggerates all the dangers. Freeman Dyson

Enzymologists usually study the initial rates of reactions measuring product formation as a function of substrate concentration or other variable. Cell biologists are more likely to want to know the effect of a change on the steady state behavior of a complex system. Irwin Rose

Change Behavior Other State Complex Complex System System Variable Steady Rates More Study Concentration Know Likely Reactions Effect Cell Want Formation Product Measuring Initial Function Biologists

Someone like Einstein was quite clearly a moralist, and he had a very highly developed political vision and was very spiritual in his way, and there are many biologists and physicists of the first order who are like that. Jonathan Miller

Spiritual Vision Political First Way Moralist Someone Physicists Had Developed He Highly Clearly Like His His Way Very Quite Order Einstein Who Many Biologists

The best way to get students involved in science and want to follow either science careers or incorporate it in their lives or to achieve science literacy is to expose them to the various jobs in STEM. It's broad from biologists to electricians to nanotechnologists to building fusion engines. It's a wide range of things. Mae Jemison

Best Science Achieve Building Broad Way Range Fusion Jobs Best Way Follow Various Stem Students Involved Get Literacy Want Either Them Engines Expose Lives Wide Things Wide Range Biologists Incorporate Careers

Evolutionary biologists are not content merely to explain how variation occurs within limits, however. They aspire to answer a much broader question-which is how complex organisms like birds, and flowers, and human beings came into existence in the first place. Phillip E. Johnson

First Birds Broader Complex Evolutionary Variation Merely Like First Place Content Within Answer How Limits Occurs Came However Existence Human Human Beings Place Explain Much Organisms Aspire Beings Biologists Flowers

The monopoly of science in the realm of knowledge explains why evolutionary biologists do not find it meaningful to address the question whether the Darwinian theory is true. Phillip E. Johnson

Knowledge Science Monopoly Address Evolutionary Find Darwinian Darwinian Theory True Question Whether Explains Meaningful Realm Theory Why Biologists

Cartoons are like fruit flies. Biologists use fruit flies because their large chromosomes and short life cycle make them ideal for studying hereditary changes. Robert Mankoff

About the only things that are unique to Earth are our biota and our culture. If aliens ever come here, they'd most likely be either biologists or music fans. Neither one has much reason to antagonize our armed forces. Seth Shostak

Music Culture Fans Alien Music Fans Our Earth Neither About Only Armed Come Armed Forces Most Likely Forces Antagonize Either Much Reason Unique Ever Things Here Biologists

I think that we scientists are seeking an understanding of the natural world. We come in various types - chemists and physicists and biologists and such - and we all have the same goal. We are making progress. Sheldon Lee Glashow

Natural World Progress Understanding Think Types Seeking Various Physicists Come Making Scientists Goal Same Natural World Biologists

You may be guided by the unending effort of poets and artists, biologists and psychiatrists to describe that irreplaceable and still mysterious emotion so essential to the human condition, but all the search engines in the universe cannot compete with the first kiss. Tom Brokaw

A single human brain has about a hundred million nerve cells... and a computer program that throws light on the mind/brain problem will have to incorporate the deepest insights of biologists, nerve scientists, psychologists, physiologists, linguists, social scientists, and even philosophers. Tony Hoare

Problem Light Will Single Philosophers Hundred Nerve Insights About Computer Computer Program Throws Scientists Brain Cells Human Human Brain Psychologists Social Even Deepest Million Biologists Incorporate Program

If commercial fishing were excluded from large areas of the sea, the total catch would be likely, paradoxically, to rise, due to what biologists call the spillover effect. George Monbiot
