Scientists Quotes

We scientists, whose tragic destination has been to help in making the methods of annihilation more gruesome and more effective, must consider it our solemn and transcendent duty to do all in our power in preventing these weapons from being used for the brutal purpose for which they were invented.
Albert Einstein

Thousands of climate scientists agree that global warming is not only the most threatening environmental problem but also one of the greatest challenges facing all of humanity. We must demand a separation between oil and state. We can get off oil and slow global warming.
Leonardo DiCaprio

This work is an excellent example of how K-State scientists work across disciplines to build effective teams, ... Had it not been for these faculty members reaching out to each other to share their individual observations relative to research and teaching, this exciting discovery might well have gone unnoticed.
Ralph Richardson

Time for the FUTURE!! We will see young scientists in the future writing D++ (DNA Code).
Eric Lander

If two scientists are giving their papers at a symposium, and one of them is just naturally better at talking to the public or talking to a group of people, that scientist is liable to get more attention - in fact, I'm told that they do get more attention - than the one who's a little more stiff about it.

Non-cooperative approaches, by contrast, almost always involve duplication of effort, since someone working independently must spend time and skills on problems that already have been encountered and overcome by someone else.
