The shutdown is just the beginning of a complex and dangerous process of closing it forever -- something that scientists say could take 100 years.

Jill Dougherty

The time and distance from the scientist's lab bench to the patient's bedside must be shortened.

Larry Lucchino

I think that we do have the technology at present to clone human embryos and it may be a lot easier than many scientists think.

Robert Lanza

People have expressed a keen interest in getting out there. Cancer is a big killer in this country. Any money we can raise to help scientists, doctors and researchers learn more about it and find ways to fight it the better off we are. That's our goal.

Jason Perillo

We are unwilling to accept any unnecessary risk and we will protect our industry from any invasive disease. At the risk of being offensive to our friends in Florida, this plan, this science, is all new to us. Didn't the scientists just come out against the 1,900-foot rule? Didn't they say that would eradicate canker?

Joel Nelsen

This provides something that is readable for the layperson and has been vetted by some of the top scientists. It helps you separate the misinformation.

Michael Milken

Though there is a certain charm of going abroad, if better faculties are created in the country scientists would not mind coming back after a few years.

Inder Verma

Scientists! Who are we learning about today?

Lori Smith

We had this wonderful anti-authoritarian attitude that made it possible for us to make new innovations and be more open-minded. Well, guess what? That comes home to roost, because it's not scientists in America who are anti-authoritarian, it's Americans in general.

Naomi Oreskes

Whatever the scientists may say, if we take the supernatural out of life, we leave only the unnatural.

Amelia E. Barr

The received opinion among scientists is that it [human space exploration] is a waste of money. And if you start by looking at the cost, that is likely to continue to be the conclusion people will come to.

Frank Close

We are working with leading genetic scientists day by day. People may try and use that method but we will be ready for them with a test.

Richard Pound

Scientists tend to resist interdisciplinary inquiries into their own territory. In many instances, such parochialism is founded on the fear that intrusion from other disciplines would compete unfairly for limited financial resources and thus diminish their own opportunity for research.

Hannes Alfven

We scientists typically are good at doing our research, but we're not so good at communicating it to the public -- its relevance and why we should spend taxpayer dollars to fund it.

George Watson

We are very likely to develop our own team of internationally leading scientists, as China enjoys the world's fastest economic development, which has created the golden chances for Chinese scientists to show their creativity.

Lu Yongxiang

Science at that time was looking at fragmented pieces of a big picture. Scientists were looking at technologies to increase crop yields. The science behind agriculture was focused on that piece of the picture.

Harold Browning

Scientists are best equipped to inform the public about climate science, not White House lawyers. People have a right to know the truth about climate science and the scientific consensus on the seriousness of this problem.

Naomi Oreskes

We [commission members] recommended that the scientists and regulatory officials get on top of the safety issue.

Michael Hogan

Some scientists claim that hydrogen, because it is so plentiful, is the basic building block of the universe. I dispute that. I say that there is more stupidity than hydrogen, and that is the basic building block of the universe.

Frank Zappa

We support leading scientists who make concrete and crucial contributions to the innovation of science and technology.

Lu Yongxiang

I thank the Oregon Science Teachers Association for its participation in National Chemistry Week. These teachers are molding the next generation of scientists.

David Wu

World-class scientists and engineers and surround them with the creative environment and speed of action that will make it happen.

David Thompson

It's structured, but it's very hands-on. I question the kids a whole lot, rather than just tell them the answers. They need to be scientists with me.

Amy Price

Proof will include truth, but it will not present the full picture. We have a limitless field of evidence from the wars, but we are not inquiring like scientists; we are asked to extract from it.

Geoffrey Nice

As science becomes more specialized, it becomes harder for scientists to check each other, which makes it easier to get away with fraud.

Alex Boese

We've seen growing respect for NGOs' impartiality, which is a function of a long-term trend of people losing faith in the impartiality of scientists.

Peter Hardstaff

The lack of scientific evidence should not be used as the basis for not doing anything. By the time you finally get the scientists there, there's nothing left.

Karen Sack

Our annual roundup of the hottest research celebrates those scientists making a significant impact. Having authored multiple Hot Papers is an achievement of the highest level, as it truly demonstrates their impact on modern scientific thought.

Christopher King

We look forward to expanding our relationship with Gladstone scientists to help train CIRM scholars and to help expand the public's understanding of all aspects of regenerative medicine.

Charles Carlson

This budget has grave implications for scientific research to combat HIV and AIDS. Bluntly put, this level of funding means less scientific research will get done by fewer scientists, with fewer new minds entering the field.

Judy Auerbach

Judges can come from the community; they don't have to be scientists.

Jaymie Pedigo

We're weeding through the options that are available to select the several best to get the scientists in the industry working on these problems.

George Douglas

That's environment. But that's not the only environment. There's also the environment that happens to us while we?re in the womb. And scientists are realizing that environment is much more important than we ever thought it was.

Michael Bailey

There are many examples of old, incorrect theories that stubbornly persisted, sustained only by the prestige of foolish but well-connected scientists. Many of these theories have been killed off only when some decisive experiment exposed their incorrectness.

Michio Kaku

We have a crisis right now. Business people right now are saying we have a skill shortage and not enough scientists and mathematicians. If you don't send boys to college, you're never going to get more scientists.

William Draves

Scientists. What will not stop this from happening is government oversight.

Zach Hall

Scientists have been arguing the question 'how precisely do we need to measure dark energy in order to know what it is?' ... What we have done in our paper is suggest precision limits for the measurements. Fortunately, these limits should be within the range of the JDEM experiments.

Eric Linder

Scientists have long sought a sample directly from a known comet because of the unique chemical and physical information these bodies contain about the earliest history of the solar system.

Edward Weiler

Singapore now has a pipeline that runs from the basic fundamental scientists all the way to the point of care. The more times you can walk it through that framework, the more products you can spin.

Edison Liu

There is not much that even the most socially responsible scientists can do as individuals, or even as a group, about the social consequences of their activities.

E. J. Hobsbawm

Pending actually reading the new rules, we are generally optimistic. We think they have adopted almost everything that the Assembly of Scientists says the rules should have.

Ezekiel Emanuel
