I shopped at J. Crew in high school, I studied computer science. I was a nerd-nerd, now I'm a music-nerd.
Of course in science there are things that are open to doubt and things need to be discussed. But among the things that science does know, evolution is about as certain as anything we know.
Science is beautiful when it makes simple explanations of phenomena or connections between different observations. Examples include the double helix in biology and the fundamental equations of physics.
As scientists, we step on the shoulders of science, building on the work that has come before us - aiming to inspire a new generation of young scientists to continue once we are gone.
In the past, there was active discrimination against women in science. That has now gone, and although there are residual effects, these are not enough to account for the small numbers of women, particularly in mathematics and physics.
I'm not really a big Springsteen guy. I'll listen to the music, but ... I didn't really get attached to it as much as, like, country artists. That's really who I listen to.
It's not easy waking up every single morning knowing what you're going to put your body through and having to do it. We don't have days off.

So much the worse, it may be, for a particular meeting: but the meeting is the individual, which on evolution principles, must be sacrificed for the development of the race.
A picture is worth 10K words - but only those to describe the picture. Hardly any sets of 10K words can be adequately described with pictures.
St. Louis still is going to be a special place for me, whether I'm playing 3,000 miles away or 5,000 miles away.
Mathematicians aren't satisfied because they know there are no solutions up to four million or four billion, they really want to know that there are no solutions up to infinity.
I really believed that I was on the right track, but that did not mean that I would necessarily reach my goal.
I don't believe Fermat had a proof. I think he fooled himself into thinking he had a proof.
I have no influence with the rising generation. All my arguments have failed to induce them to set bounds to their wants.
The majority of people who get in the sport of gymnastics do not go to the Olympics or get a Division 1 scholarship, but it doesn't mean that they can't get something positive from the sport.
