Famous Quotes & Sayings

It's sort of nice in more general terms to see that computational science, computational biology is being recognized. It's become a very large field, and it's always in some ways been the poor sister, or the ugly sister, to experimental biology.

It's more related to plant biology than weather. But weather is a deciding factor on whether or not you can burn on any given day.

When it came to choice of subjects, science was obvious - since I was uninterested in anything else - but a decision that caused consternation in some eyes was my demand to take biology for A-level.

At Xavier I was a biology and pre-med double major, but they handle pre-med differently out here and I am not in the program yet. My classes are totally different. I went from molecular biology and other science courses to English classes like Eroticism and Love in the Middle Ages.

Ray Kurzweil

The Singularity Is Near: When Humans Transcend Biology

Scientists should look to nature and biology for well-defined answers, especially in fields like optics.

The Search For The Giant Squid: An authoritative look at the biology and mythology of the world's most elusive sea creature.

You're showing a new part of biology that was completely unknown. Future drugs might work more effectively by targeting RNA rather than proteins.

Eric Kandel

I've been around a long time, and I've been interested in memory for a long time. And one of my earlier interests in molecular biology of memory led me to define the switch that converts short term to long term memory.

Eric Kandel

The biology of mind bridges the sciences - concerned with the natural world - and the humanities - concerned with the meaning of human experience.

Eric Kandel

One of the ultimate challenges for biology is to understand the brain's processing of unconscious and conscious perception, emotion, and empathy.

Bruce Chatwin

As a general rule of biology, migratory species are less 'aggressive' than sedentary ones.

Michael Behe

The fact that most biology texts act more as cheerleaders for Darwin's theory rather than trying to develop the critical faculties of their students shows the need, I think, for such statements.

Bill Gates

Biology has improved, so the chance of having new medicines and vaccines are stronger today than ever,

Craig Venter

The problem with existing biology is you change only one or two genes at a time.

Steven Morrissey

On the day that your mentality Decides to catch up with your biology, Come 'round

Mehmet Oz

Biology always beats will power.

Siri Hustvedt

Many scholars working in the humanities have already shown interest in brain research. For years, contemporary theory in the humanities has left the body and biology out of their discussions.

Jack Smith

Basically, it's strictly a school to learn about gardening, lawn work, understanding the chemistry and biology of plants ? things people are interested in around their home.

Michael Young

No one had ever labeled the components to follow them over time, to see one clock as it ticks away in a single cell. All the biochemistry and molecular biology that had been done on this had been piecing together information from dead flies.

I enjoyed biology in high school, and that brought me to a research lab at U.C. Santa Barbara. I loved doing experiments, and I had fun with them. I realized this kind of problem-solving fit my intellectual style.

Gregory Bateson

There are no monotone "values" in biology.

How do you have a training program in stem cell biology if you don't have the mentors?

Much of my work in biology has been driven by my early training in chemistry. When studying a new chemical compound, the first and most important thing is to determine its detailed molecular structure.

If I buy a hardcover biology textbook today, it was written three years ago. With an online textbook, the publisher can change it immediately, so the kids are getting up-to-date information. That's a tremendous difference.

Matthew Fox

Our generation has been taught to think in terms of the evolution of the universe, but the fact is that physics didn't get into evolution until the 1960's - it was just this biology thing. Then we learned how the universe is evolving. Now we're going a step further and understanding that even the laws that govern the universe are evolving!

Trofim Lysenko

And the more profoundly the science of biology reveals the laws of the life and development of living bodies, the more effective is the science of agronomy.

Derek Taylor

We need to know the species identities in order to understand how freshwater communities are changing over time, as a response to climate change, pollution or invasive species. We're hoping that by studying the biology of the rare males, we can learn more about species diversity and freshwater ecosystem changes.

Martha Beck

For the vast majority of world history, human life - both culture and biology - was shaped by scarcity. Food, clothing, shelter, tools, and pretty much everything else had to be farmed or fabricated, at a very high cost in time and energy.

Paul Nurse

A key issue in developmental biology at that time was the problem of how cells underwent differentiation, with most workers concentrating on explanations in terms of changes in enzyme and gene regulation.

Alex Berenson

The difference between microeconomics and macroeconomics is a bit like the difference between biology and medicine. Knowing that certain genes increase the risk of cancer is relatively easy. Figuring out exactly which people will get sick, or how to cure them, is a lot more complicated.

Bruce Beutler

I felt I ought not to be wasting time, and I hurried to graduate from high school to enroll at UCSD. I also hurried to finish college, to go on to higher studies. By the time I was in my teens, I had a strong sense of mission, wanting to discover something important or solve a major problem in biology or medicine.

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.
