All the scientists and technologists should work in appropriate region, specifically the rural technologies, to transform Indian rural sector.
Scientists aren’t necessarily good communicators, because they aren’t trained to be good communicators.
You know, I get frustrated with our country’s administration, which is really the people who are not acknowledging global warming. I mean, it’s accepted by scientists around the world, scientists in our country and it’s accepted by every country around the world with the exception of the United States.
Free from the shackles of the E.U. – and an automatic right of entry for their citizens, with or without work – we will be able to give the type of preference to brilliant scientists, academics and highly-skilled workers that we want to see more of.
If they don’t depend on true evidence, scientists are no better than gossips.
Science fiction has been an inspiration to generations of scientists and engineers, and the film series ‘Star Wars’ is no exception.
Something can be real – actually existing, not merely illusory – and yet not be fundamental. Scientists used to think that heat, for example, was a fluidlike substance called ‘caloric’ that flowed from hot objects to colder ones.
Individual storytelling is incredibly powerful. We as journalists know intuitively what scientists of the brain are discovering through brain scans, which is that emotional stories tend to open the portals, and that once there’s a connection made, people are more open to rational arguments.
Scientists have become the bearers of the torch of discovery in our quest for knowledge.
I am worried that algorithms are getting too prominent in the world. It started out that computer scientists were worried nobody was listening to us. Now I’m worried that too many people are listening.
Modern science developed in the context of western religious thought, was nurtured in universities first established for religious reasons, and owes some of its greatest discoveries and advances to scientists who themselves were deeply religious.
My heroes were never scientists. They were Graham Greene and Christopher Isherwood, you know, good writers.
Nearly all inventions are not recognised for their positive side either when they’re made. So, for example, scientists didn’t go out to design a CD machine: they designed a laser. But we got all sorts of things from a laser which we never remotely imagined, and we’re still finding things for a laser to do.
We have to change the way people look at scientists. Today, they are the nerds, the geeks. Instead, we want some of the cool kids to say, ‘Hey, this is all right.’
The human body and mind are tremendous forces that are continually amazing scientists and society. Therefore, we have no choice but to keep an open mind as to what the human being can achieve.
I get a sense that we’ve all been educated into one school of thought. I’m not surprised at all to find among the overwhelming majority of scientists, are people who would hold one particular view because that’s all they’re exposed to.
We are constantly nothing but a bunch of energy being processed. Into this whirlpool, the more complex the system, the more energy it requires to hold it together. Therefore, the more complex – the scientists call it ‘coherent’ – the more fluctuations are possible.
There are sadistic scientists who hurry to hunt down errors instead of establishing the truth.
As it turns out, social scientists have established only one fact about single women’s mental health: employment improves it.
People want to protect the territory that they have, and they’re very threatened by change. That’s not true for all of scientists, but you know, fortunately, the scientific community moves forward in a conservative fashion.
A great dream of mine would be to run a design studio full of scientists who think about science as creatively as if they were doing art.
