My own interest in basic aspects of electron transfer between metal complexes became active only after I came to the University of Chicago in 1946.
The human genome contains so much data that, it has been calculated, it would fill 43 volumes of Webster's International Dictionary.
Hunters and trackers learn not only to understand intellectually a bunch of facts about the animal they follow, but to feel their way into the very being of the animal.
Over recent years, urbanisation, globalisation and the destruction of local cultures has led to a rise in the prevalence of mental illness in the developing world.
Any natural, normal human being, when faced with any kind of loss, will go from shock all the way through acceptance.
You learn emotional experiences as much as you learn cognitive experiences, except that they are more unconscious. Sometimes one represses the cognitive component of it, but it's often more difficult to repress the emotional component.
If you have a lesion in the hippocampus in both sides, you have short term memory, but you can convert that short term memory into long term memory.

Although no one treatment will ever be a panacea, research studies indicate that cognitive therapy can be helpful for a variety of disorders in addition to depression.
Since the founding of quantum mechanics in the 1920s, theoretical physics had nurtured an extremely radical tradition.
Elements which are similar as regards their chemical properties have atomic weights which are either of nearly the same value (eg. Pt, Ir, Os) or which increase regularly (eg. K, Ru, Cs).
The establishment of a law, moreover, does not take place when the first thought of it takes form, or even when its significance is recognised, but only when it has been confirmed by the results of the experiment.
We must expect the discovery of many as yet unknown elements-for example, elements analogous to aluminum and silicon- whose atomic weight would be between 65 and 75.
I had travelled pretty widely around the world even before then, so I knew where to go to film wildlife.
Somali is turning into a desert. Rwanda, you can hardly find a place to plant a potato, it's so crowded.
The most powerful argument of all for saving open space is economics; in most states, tourism is the number two industry.
