Every time I hear a politician mention the word 'stimulus,' my mind flashes back to high school biology class, when I touched battery wires to a dead frog to make it twitch. Robert Kiyosaki

Time Class School Word Mind Politician Every Biology Every Time Back Battery High High School Touched Mention Wires Dead Make Hear Stimulus Frog Flashes Twitch

Both in Britain and America, huge publicity has been given to stem cells, particularly embryonic stem cells, and the potential they offer. Of course, the study of stem cells is one of the most exciting areas in biology, but I think it is unlikely that embryonic stem cells are likely to be useful in healthcare for a long time. Robert Winston

We have to accept that we are just machines. That's certainly what modern molecular biology says about us. Rodney Brooks

Biology Says Machines About Accept Modern Just Us Molecular Certainly

Biology is greener and, at scale, should be incredibly cost-effective: The cost of goods sold should be little more than the sugar water needed to brew almost anything. Ryan Bethencourt

Water Sugar Biology Incredibly Sold Scale Cost Cost-Effective More Almost Almost Anything Goods Than Greener Anything Little Should Brew Needed

Simple genome engineering of bacteria and yeast is just the beginning of the rise of the true biohackers. This is a community of several thousand people, with skill sets ranging from self-taught software hackers to biology postdocs who are impatient with the structure of traditional institutional lab work. Ryan Bethencourt

Work People Simple Beginning Community Engineering Biology Sets Software Several Bacteria Thousand Rise Impatient Structure Hackers True Institutional Genome Traditional Self-Taught Yeast Lab Just Skill Who

In the past, biology has been a backwater type of activity - a bunch of nerds in a lab. Now the sheer potential of biology to re-program our physical world is a new reality for everyone. Ryan Bethencourt

Since the beginning of civilization humans have altered our environment and its biology to allow our civilization to thrive - from domesticating plants and animals to building shelter and tools from living organisms. Ryan Bethencourt

Plants Thrive Animals Building Beginning Living Biology Tools Our Civilization Allow Environment Since Altered Shelter Organisms Plants And Animals Living Organisms Humans

Biology - DNA - is technology. It is coding. It is physical coding, but still code. Ryan Bethencourt

Technology Biology Physical Still Code Coding

It will be the mother of all telescopes, and you can bet it will do for astronomy what genome sequencing is doing for biology. The clumsy, if utilitarian, name of this mirrored monster is Large Synoptic Survey Telescope, or LSST. You can't use it yet, but a peak in the Chilean Andes has been decapitated to provide a level spot for placement. Seth Shostak

Despite tantalizing suggestions of fossilized microbes in meteorites, puzzling and possibly biogenic methane gas in the martian atmosphere, and a long-standing controversy over the Viking lander experiments of nearly 40 years ago, there's still no Exhibit A that points unequivocally to biology in our own back yard. Seth Shostak

Own Biology Back Despite Our Possibly Atmosphere Martian Points Long-Standing Puzzling Over Yard Still Exhibit Years Years Ago Unequivocally Controversy Experiments Nearly Gas Suggestions

I've always liked all the sciences, like math, physics and biology. Sigrid Agren

I never imagined that I'd end up in animation, but marine biology and art collided, and here we are! Stephen Hillenburg

Art Biology Never Animation End Up Here Imagined Marine

A lot of things came out of my interest in marine biology, like the fact that there are scallops that fly in the air, and in SpongeBob's world, scallops swim the same way in the ocean. Stephen Hillenburg

What an odd time to be a fundamentalist about adaptation and natural selection - when each major subdiscipline of evolutionary biology has been discovering other mechanisms as adjuncts to selection's centrality. Stephen Jay Gould

Time Natural Biology Other Evolutionary Has-Been About Selection Major Odd Been Discovering Natural Selection Mechanisms Each Fundamentalist Adaptation

Statistical physics or Newtonian physics gives way to quantum physics. Very unusual properties of matter emerge at that scale, and you can think about building products in a very different way. You can think about interfacing to biology in a very different way. Steve Jurvetson

It's true that my research expertise is in biology: for example, the Ebola virus, the Marburg virus, and monkey pox, and not bacteriology as in the case of the anthrax organism. It's also true that I have never, ever worked with anthrax in my life. It's a separate field from the research I was performing at Fort Detrick. Steven Hatfill

On bad days, I think I'd like to be a plastic surgeon who goes to Third World countries and operates on children in villages with airlifts, and then I think, 'Yeah, right, I'm going to go back to undergraduate school and take all the biology I missed and then go to medical school.' No. No. Tama Janowitz

World School Surgeon Think Biology Back Bad Bad Days Take Missed Countries Days Like Undergraduate Yeah Go Goes Going Children Then Who Plastic Plastic Surgeon Villages Medical Right Medical School Third Third World

The idea of going back to school and revising for exams would be hellish. As an actor, my form of revising is learning scenes, but to start going through biology, chemistry, and all of those sciences would be just a nightmare. Tamzin Outhwaite

! want to leverage the creativity of researchers across mathematics, statistics, data mining, computer science, biology, medicine, and the public at large. Tan Le

Imagine someone holding forth on biology whose only knowledge of the subject is 'The Book of British Birds,' and you have a rough idea of what it feels like to read Richard Dawkins on theology. Terry Eagleton

I began my thesis research at Harvard by working with a team in the laboratory of William N. Lipscomb, a Nobel chemistry Laureate, in 1976, on the structure of carboxypeptidase A. I did postdoctoral studies with David Blow at the MRC lab of Molecular Biology in Cambridge studying chymotrypsin. Thomas A. Steitz
