Bonnie Bassler Scientist Quotations

The goal of scientists is you hope that the thing you're working on is bigger than the thing you're pipetting into that tube at the moment.

Everybody, as soon as they do a good experiment, their first thought in this lab is, 'That can't be right. I must have screwed it up. What did I do wrong?' And that's the best kind of scientist because they're filled with this self-doubt. And if I'm going to be honest, that's who I am. And it's what drives me.
