I am a scientist. To be specific, I am a woman scientist. This, I have been told and have come to believe, is a good thing. In fact, it is such a good thing that America needs more of us. Everyone seems to be very sure of this. The thing that no one is sure about, however, is how to make it happen.
In other countries you can do high-level maths or general maths, whereas we’ve just got all-or-nothing. We need to give people another option from 16-18. Not everyone is going to want to become a rocket scientist but that doesn’t mean that maths isn’t extremely useful.
In Italy the artist is a god. Now if the artist is a god, the scientist is likewise a god.
I think Newton would be the greatest scientist who ever lived.
Women tend to be more intuitive, or to admit to being intuitive, and maybe the hard science approach isn’t so attractive. The way that science is taught is very cold. I would never have become a scientist if I had been taught like that.
Listen, one doesn’t need to be religious (nor a rocket scientist) to see the value of abstinence.
A scientist should be the happiest of men.
I buy so much when I go through airports: I buy psychology magazines; I buy ‘Mind,’ another magazine, ‘New Scientist,’ ‘Scientific America.’
The scientist and engineers who are building the future need the poets to make sense of it.
I don’t flatter myself – I’m not a scientist, I’m not a conservation expert.
I’ve tried to be a straight scientist doing the science and reporting it as best I can.
I wanted to be a scientist, but I wanted to go into space. They are not mutually exclusive.
My transition from scientist to entrepreneur? Some would say that I still haven’t made that transition.
I’m a scientist at heart, so I know how important the truth is. However inconvenient, however unattractive, however embarrassing, however shocking, the truth is the truth, and wanting it not to be true doesn’t change things.
When I was a child, it was cool to be a scientist.
I have the ability and to have access to and to learn more in different areas in wellness and health because I have the door open to me to any doctor, any scientist, any hospital, any study around the world. I believe it’s my responsibility to share that information with others.
While I’m working, I stick with music that won’t distract me – the dub stylings of Scientist and King Tubby, maybe some Beethoven string quartets.
If I wasn’t a professional scientist, I’d be an amateur scientist. But plan B was to go into computers.
Sadly, it runs in my damn family, and that disease is a mystery to just about every scientist! We are definitely interested in finding a cure for ALS! Cure it already!
I’m not as famous as Stephen Hawking, but certainly in the U.S., I have a very high profile for a scientist. It is an awesome responsibility, one that I don’t shoulder lightly.
In our case, I, a working engineer, inventor and scientist, am bringing new innovation to campaigning to enable a grass-roots movement.
I always wanted to be a scientist, I always thought I’d be a scientist, that was the narrative I was carrying around. I worked in a neuroscience lab as an undergraduate and then after, almost five years in total, but I realized I just wasn’t good at science. I didn’t have the discipline for it.
Everybody’s a mad scientist, and life is their lab. We’re all trying to experiment to find a way to live, to solve problems, to fend off madness and chaos.
Windell Oskay is the co-founder of Evil Mad Scientist Laboratories, a Silicon Valley company that has designed and produced specialized electronics and robotics kits since 2007.
I trained initially as a physical chemist, and then, after becoming interested in biology, I went to medical school and learned how to be a physician. So, I’m a physician scientist.
Social progress is a big thing for me. Although science fiction is traditionally concerned with the hard sciences, which is chemistry, physics, and, some might argue, biology, my father was and still is a social scientist at the University of Toronto.
I knew I wasn’t going to be a scientist; I knew that early. When they started talking about dissecting frogs, I knew I wasn’t going to be a scientist.
I can’t ever remember not wanting to be a scientist.
If you broke down my technique, it wouldn’t really take a rocket scientist to do so.
It’s not about where you were born or where you come from that makes you a good scientist. What you need are good teachers, co-students, facilities.
To my knowledge, there’s never been a scientist in the U.S. Senate.
As a planetary scientist, I don’t know what else to call Pluto: It’s big and round and thousands of miles wide.
I wanted to be a scientist. But I had no math skills.
The scientist is not a person who gives the right answers, he is one who asks the right questions.
Whether you are an astronomer or a life scientist, geophysicist, or a pilot, you’ve got to be there because you believe you are good in your field, and you can contribute, not because you are going to get a lot of fame or whatever when you get back.
Dissent is the native activity of the scientist, and it has got him into a good deal of trouble in the last years. But if that is cut off, what is left will not be a scientist. And I doubt whether it will be a man.
I fell in love with science and decided to continue for my Ph.D., and from there on, I was a scientist.
If you put somebody on a crack pipe and give them a 9 mm Baretta, you don’t have to be a rocket scientist to figure out what’s going to happen next.
I’m not being evasive but I am saying I’m not a scientist and I’m not directly involved in the consultation however the science must be sound, it must be agreed and the consultation must be of a high quality or no one will have any confidence in the process.
Literature and philosophy both allow past idols to be resurrected with a frequency which would be truly distressing to a sober scientist.
I know I’m a rare person, a trained scientist who writes fiction, because so few contemporary novelists engage with science.
The planet is heating; the climate is changing. We know this. We have not just one scientist, or two, but thousands screaming this at us at the top of their lungs. And we have a government full of disinterested, stubborn people who are going to cling to their denial and their nonsense.
I do not think that there is a reputable scientist on this planet who would advocate using this technology to generate a human child as was just announced.
Chefs think about what it’s like to make food. Being a scientist in the kitchen is about asking why something works, and how it works.
I think I was a born scientist.
The practical case for manned spacef light gets ever-weaker with each advance in robots and miniaturisation – indeed, as a scientist or practical man, I see little purpose in sending people into space at all. But as a human being, I’m an enthusiast for manned missions.
It is frequently the tragedy of the great artist, as it is of the great scientist, that he frightens the ordinary man.
As a scientist, I clearly see the potential for harnessing the power of nature.
Of necessity, a scientist typically studies one incredibly tiny sliver of some biological system, totally ensconced within one discipline, because even figuring out how one sliver works is really hard.
Becoming a bird ecologist was just luck! I had the chance to be a field assistant for a scientist working in the Galapagos Islands, and while I was there, I saw a particular problem in behavioral biology that I wanted to solve and, in the process, made myself into a bird ecologist.
When a distinguished but elderly scientist states that something is possible, he is almost certainly right. When he states that something is impossible, he is very probably wrong.
A scientist lives with all reality. There is nothing better.
I am optimistic when I consider the spiritual dimension which the scientist’s discipline forces him to ignore.
I am not a doctor or a scientist, but merely a passionate layperson, a filter, a messenger. I spoke with so many patients who are living normal, happy, fulfilled lives, and their enthusiasm and great quality of life convinced me that you can indeed live with cancer.
If you’re a real scientist, you’re constantly open to new data. Nothing is ever 100% validated.
I felt more like a scientist exploring nature, and Windows was my environment. You don’t pass judgment on nature; you just explain how it works.
My father is a scientist , my mother a teacher, my brother is a Naval Officer and I am an entertainer – we all are doing out a bit for our country!
The pure natural scientist is liable to forget that minds exist, and that if it were not for them he could neither know nor act on physical objects.
Children and scientists share an outlook on life. ‘If I do this, what will happen?’ is both the motto of the child at play and the defining refrain of the physical scientist.
The behavioral scientist Karen Stenner has written very eloquently about people who have what she calls an authoritarian predisposition, a personality type that is bothered by complexity and is especially enraged by disagreement. Trump has made himself into the spokesperson for precisely these American authoritarians.
