One of the biggest costs in the whole scientific publishing world is borne by the academic community, which is the peer review.
I am a board member and the volunteer director of medical and scientific content for Less Cancer.
As far as skincare goes, I’m from the school of ‘you are what you eat.’ I always promote a vegan lifestyle, not just because it’s great for our environment and for humanity, but because if you cut out dairy, for example, there’s scientific proof that it can actually help your complexion.
One of the fundamental discoveries I made about myself – early enough to make use of it – was that I am driven to seize life and to understand it. The motor that pushes me is propelled by more than scientific curiosity.
The future of society is 100% dependent on scientific advances.
I teach a freshman seminar every year, and we delve very, very deeply into their mindsets. They read scientific articles, but we also focus on what their mindset is, and they learn to recognize when they are in more of a fixed mindset, because we’re all a mixture.
The scientific community should work as hard as possible to address major issues that affect our everyday lives such as climate change, infectious diseases and counterterrorism; in particular, ‘clean energy’ research deserves far higher priority. And science and technology are the prime routes to tackling these issues.
It was probably my parents who inspired me most. My father was a scientist and answered my scientific questions, while my mother took me on walks and showed me birds and plants. She also took me out at night and showed me the constellations and the aurora.
I come from a pretty scientific family. My sister is a neurologist and my brother is an engineer.
The biggest invention of modern time is the book. The book is a digital medium; book text is written in a different form and replicable. What it really does is it allows us to replicate cultural information, scientific technology, and information out of the human brain.
The characteristic of scientific progress is our knowing that we did not know.
My first undertaking in the way of scientific experiment was in the field of economics and psychology.
Rajneeshism is creating a Noah’s Ark of consciousness, remaining centered exactly in the middle of the cyclone. You can only escape within, and that’s what I teach. I do not teach worship of God or any other ritual but only a scientific way of coming to your innermost core.
Now the main areas of higher education that still enjoy considerable financial support from government are subjects like engineering and science and the research ringfence which is the basic minimum to protect Britain’s scientific competitiveness.
Discovering traces of life on Mars would be of tremendous scientific significance: The first time that any signs of extraterrestrial life had ever been detected. Many people would also find it heartening to learn that we’re not entirely alone in this vast, cold cosmos.
My greatest surprise was that so much of what we think is common sense is just prejudice, and so much of what we think is scientific fact is about as scientific as the idea that the sun revolves around the earth.
The mother of a family should look upon her housekeeping and the planning of meals as a scientific occupation.
The truth is that our race survived ignorance; it is our scientific genius that will do us in.
While it is quite reasonable for scientists to be skeptical of new ideas that do not fit within the accepted realm of scientific knowledge, the best science often emerges from situations where results carefully obtained do not fit within the accepted paradigms.
With a hundred and seventy-eight machines to sequence the precise order of the billions of chemicals within a molecule of DNA, B.G.I. produces at least a quarter of the world’s genomic data – more than Harvard University, the National Institutes of Health, or any other scientific institution.
The falsification of scientific data or analysis is always a serious matter.
The hardest problems of pure and applied science can only be solved by the open collaboration of the world-wide scientific community.
Reading history, one rarely gets the feeling of the true nature of scientific development, in which the element of farce is as great as the element of triumph.
Measurements, observations, descriptions can only be considered scientific when they are independently confirmed by other people.
In today’s information-driven economy, business and scientific talent constrains growth.
Scientific knowledge is in perpetual evolution; it finds itself changed from one day to the next.
You always have to be worried about something that is considered a so-called ‘scientific theory’ that fits every scenario. Climate change, as they’ve defined it, can never be disproved.
What shocks me is people who have no expertise championing a view that runs counter to the mainstream scientific consensus.
I don’t know – it’s a bit of a mystery of how things come about when they do. I don’t have a scientific explanation for it. Sometimes when you’re writing a song, you don’t know where you’re going.
Exploring and colonizing Mars can bring us new scientific understanding of climate change, of how planet-wide processes can make a warm and wet world into a barren landscape. By exploring and understanding Mars, we may gain key insights into the past and future of our own world.
All science is based on models, and every scientific model comprises three distinct stages: statement of well-defined hypotheses; deduction of all the consequences of these hypotheses, and nothing but these consequences; confrontation of these consequences with observed data.
You banter, and you talk, and you get a sense of the speed of thinking and flexibility… It’s not terribly scientific, but I interview a dozen or two dozen people a week, and I get a certain vibe reasonably fast.
Chhath is made up of two Hindi words – ‘Chah,’ indicating six stages and ‘Hath’ representing the act of austerity. The vratti observing this strict fast is believed to acquire solar energy in six different stages. It is one of the most scientific puja known to mankind and offers a host of health benefits.
Specifically, and contrary to misguided directives, I limited the broad use of chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine, promoted by the Administration as a panacea, but which clearly lack scientific merit.
For decades, the pro-life movement has focused on scientific evidence and ethical arguments.
Part of our western outlook stems from the scientific attitude and its method of isolating the parts of a phenomenon in order to analyze them.
My mode as a writer is to layer different perspectives: the scientific, the philosophical, the political, the journalistic. When you layer them, you get a really wholesome, interesting picture.
I worked with Stanley Kubrick for almost a year back in 1990, trying to develop the screen story for his project ‘Artificial Intelligence,’ which is about a robot boy who wishes to become a real boy, a future scientific fairy tale inspired in the myth of Pinocchio.
I am as non-accepting of medical quackery and unscientific approaches as anybody else. I’ve grown up as a card-carrying scientist, and I know the power of science to answer questions, and for many questions I don’t know of anything better than scientific approaches to answer them.
The brain is the most complex, challenging scientific puzzle we have ever tried to decode.
The citation for the 1971 Nobel Prize in Chemistry reads, ‘for contribution to the knowledge of electronic structures and geometry of molecules, especially free radicals,’ and therefore implies that the Prize has been awarded for a long series of studies extending practically over my whole scientific life.
Like tens of thousands of others, I have been a spectator of, rather than a participator in, the activities – political, commercial, sociological, scientific – of the times in which I have lived.
If a scientist sidesteps their scientific peers, and chooses to take an apparently changeable, frightening and technical scientific case directly to the public, then that is a deliberate decision, and one that can’t realistically go unnoticed.
They cannot count on the press and they cannot count on Congressional committees to bring the problems of the scientific community to their own attention, or to police the scientific community.
The scientific argument advanced for intelligent design at the Dover trial, those arguments collapsed, scientifically and intellectually.
I am not here concerned with intent, but with scientific standards, especially the ability to tell the difference between a fact, an opinion, a hypothesis, and a hole in the ground.
Operation Warp Speed should fill us with pride about American prowess and ingenuity. It is a showcase of our scientific, military and industrial might.
Fighting in the air is not a sport. It is scientific murder.
There is a tremendous amount of support for the approach we have taken, which again is to base our decisions on risk analysis and thoughtful scientific process.
One of President Obama’s first acts was to give a massive boost to America’s scientific community.
Our collective scientific knowledge of COVID-19 continues to grow.
A scientific prize is an ambiguous thing: it highlights an individual when we should highlight a collective effort, but I’m not alone.
