3 December 2020 Jaron Lanier I’ve always felt that the human-centered approach to computer science leads to more interesting, more exotic, more wild, and more heroic adventures than the machine-supremacy approach, where information is the highest goal.

3 December 2020 Paul Nurse I think it was this curiosity about the natural world which awoke my early interest in science.
3 December 2020 Freeman Dyson Biology is now bigger than physics, as measured by the size of budgets, by the size of the workforce, or by the output of major discoveries and biology is likely to remain the biggest part of science through the twenty-first century.
3 December 2020 Erwin Chargaff Science is wonderfully equipped to answer the question ‘How?’ but it gets terribly confused when you ask the question ‘Why?’
3 December 2020 Galileo Galilei In questions of science, the authority of a thousand is not worth the humble reasoning of a single individual.

3 December 2020 Simon Newcomb The time was not yet ripe for the growth of mathematical science among us, and any development that might have taken place in that direction was rudely stopped by the civil war.

3 December 2020 Octavia Butler Science fiction let me do both. It let me look into science and stick my nose in everywhere.
3 December 2020 Nathan Fillion I’ve got a full plate, yes I do. That iPod, that’s nice. A phone recorder? Nicely done. All right I’m a bit of a tech geek. I have a subscription to Popular Science and I keep up on all this stuff.
