Should the research worker of the future discover some means of releasing this [atomic] energy in a form which could be employed, the human race will have at its command powers beyond the dream of scientific fiction, but the remotest possibility must...
Personally, I attach great importance to research in fundamental sciences because I believe that no applied or developmental research can do without basic research as the wellspring and driving force. But, in this world of ours, often because of mate...
I am all for stem cell research.
The choice is not between conducting the stem cell research or not conducting it. That is not the choice.
Indeed, scientific truth by consensus has had a uniformly bad history.
We don't regard any scientific theory as the absolute truth.
Scientific theory is a contrived foothold in the chaos of living phenomena.
The theory of evolution, like the theory of gravity, is a scientific fact.
Advertisements may be evaluated scientifically; they cannot be created scientifically.
The scientific argument advanced for intelligent design at the Dover trial, those arguments collapsed, scientifically and intellectually.
… scientific thought does not mean thought about scientific subjects with long names. There are no scientific subjects. The subject of science is the human universe; that is to say, everything that is, or has been, or may be related to man.
I urge researchers to make use of the opportunities that are available to them and to do all they can to fulfill the promise that stem cell research offers.
Embryonic stem cell research will prolong life, improve life and give hope for life to millions of people.
At NIH, what tends to happen is that the proven researchers tend to get the money. New researchers, younger researchers, or people on the cutting edge don't get the money until they have gray beards.
To date, embryonic stem cell research has not produced a single medical treatment, where ethical, adult stem cell research has produced some 67 medical miracles.
A good scientific theory is one which is falsifiable, which has not been falsified.
One can not impede scientific progress.
When it repudiates a past paradigm, a scientific community simultaneously renounces, as a fit subject for professional scrutiny, most of the books and articles in which that paradigm had been embodied. Scientific education makes use of no equivalent ...
One area where this misperception has hit hard has been research on child sexual abuse. Despite an explosion of research on the issue over recent decades, most research reported in the literature is focused on girls. There is significantly less atten...
For the progress of scientific knowledge will lead to a constant increase of expenditure.
A valid scientific theory is predictive, verifiable, and replicable. To me, that's beautiful.
