Today we try to identify a gene and then study its properties.

Biology will relate every human gene to the genes of other animals and bacteria, to this great chain of being.

Scientists tend to be skeptical, but the weakness of the community of science is that it tends to move into preformed establishment modes that say this is the only way of doing science, the only valid view.

By asking a novel question that you don't know the answer to, you discover whether you can formulate a way of finding the answer, and you stretch your own mind, and very often you learn something new.

We are embedded in a biological world and related to the organisms around us.

In 15 years we'll have all the sequence, a list of the genes everyone has in common and those that differ among people. We know only something like a tenth of 1 percent of the sequence at the moment.

We know specific genes are turned on in specific cells, but we don't know to what extent this happens.

The virtues of science are skepticism and independence of thought.

Early on, it's good to develop the ability to write. Learning to write is a useful exercise, even if what you're writing about is not that relevant.

We haven't been able yet to determine in terms of genes what makes a human being a human and not another mammal.

The best project is one that asks a novel question.

The interaction of the variation in our genes is what's responsible for lots of our attributes and vigor.

The human's place in the universe will be set in the scheme of evolution, the product of our biological inheritance.

Everyone wants a hand in the outcome, a piece of the knowledge.

Today we try to identify a gene and then study its properties.

It's easier to change what you do than people think it is. If you don't change, your field changes around you.

Biology will tell you a lot of things but there are many that it can not explain and you need to look at physics instead.

The humans place in the universe will be set in the scheme of evolution the product of our biological inheritance.

But if anyone supposes that there was no commercial fraud in the Middle Ages, let him study the commercial legislation of England for that period, and his mind will be satisfied, if he has a mind to be satisfied and not only a fancy to run away with him.

No matter how deep a study you make. What you really have to rely on is your own intuition and when it comes down to it, you really don't know what's going to happen until you do it.

On one hand, to be able to go from one direction in the sky to study such an object to another direction to study another object, and on the other hand to be able to maintain accurately the position in space.

After some minor pieces of theoretical study that I worked on, a student in my statistical mechanics class brought to my attention a problem in polyelectrolytes.

I love talking about women because they are a constant study and you're always learning.

There are no enemies in science, professor. Only phenomena to study.

War should be the only study of a prince. He should consider peace only as a breathing-time, which gives him leisure to contrive, and furnishes as ability to execute, military plans.

I study myself more than any other subject; it is my metaphysic, and my physic.

You know, there was a time, just before I started to study physical science, when astronomers thought that systems such as we have here in the solar system required a rare triple collision of stars.

I'm a political scientist and I study these things, and I know that economic problems, with the rising unemployment and inflation and low productivity and so forth, were a factor in that election, in that defeat of President Carter.

You have to study your field and you have to find out how other people do it, and you have to keep working and learning and practicing and ultimately, you would be able to do it.

As a result of my study, I came to the conclusion that a common supreme authority was undesirable.

To study the abnormal is the best way of understanding the normal.

The study of error is not only in the highest degree prophylactic, but it serves as a stimulating introduction to the study of truth.

I finally reached the conclusion that mathematics was the study I was best fitted to follow, though I did not clearly see in what way I should turn the subject to account.

The study of social progress is today not less needed in literature than is the analysis of the human heart.

Every step in the progress of this study has tended to obliterate the technical barriers by which logicians have sought to separate the inquiries relating to the several parts of man's nature.

Research and development needs permanent tax credits to build the technology that spurs our growth. But no government programs alone can get America's students to study more science and math; parents must push and help their children to meet this goal.

First I went to the Sorbonne to do my licence en lettres, but I also started to study law.

The trip I made to Angola to study the prehistoric contents of the gravel beds as a means of deciding the age of the deposits and their economic potential was the first time prehistory had ever been used for such a purpose.
