Quotes about biology
biology main people science talk teach
We talk about the Internet. That comes from science. Weather forecasting. That comes from science. The main idea in all of biology is evolution. To not teach it to our young people is wrong. Bill Nye
biology british-scientist cells gene issue key terms time workers
A key issue in developmental biology at that time was the problem of how cells underwent differentiation, with most workers concentrating on explanations in terms of changes in enzyme and gene regulation. Paul Nurse
biology changing climate diversity ecosystem hoping identities learn order pollution rare response species studying understand
We need to know the species identities in order to understand how freshwater communities are changing over time, as a response to climate change, pollution or invasive species. We're hoping that by studying the biology of the rare males, we can learn more about species diversity and freshwater ecosystem changes. Derek Taylor
biology both cost culture food high human life majority shaped time vast
For the vast majority of world history, human life - both culture and biology - was shaped by scarcity. Food, clothing, shelter, tools, and pretty much everything else had to be farmed or fabricated, at a very high cost in time and energy. Martha Beck
biology change existing genes time
The problem with existing biology is you change only one or two genes at a time. Craig Venter
biology theme surveys
But honestly, if you do a rigorous survey of my work, I'll bet you'll find that biology is a theme far more often than physical science. David Brin
biology came caused choice demand obvious science since
When it came to choice of subjects, science was obvious - since I was uninterested in anything else - but a decision that caused consternation in some eyes was my demand to take biology for A-level.
biology goal ultimate
the ultimate goal in biology to be able to do this.
biology confusing funny kinds responding
All kinds of things are changing, and the biology is responding in funny, non-linear, confusing ways. Not everything has declined, but many things have.
biology critical develop fact faculties rather shows students texts theory trying
The fact that most biology texts act more as cheerleaders for Darwin's theory rather than trying to develop the critical faculties of their students shows the need, I think, for such statements. Michael Behe
biology explore later organism particular
Because all of biology is connected, one can often make a breakthrough with an organism that exaggerates a particular phenomenon, and later explore the generality.
biology chemical detailed determine driven early molecular work
Much of my work in biology has been driven by my early training in chemistry. When studying a new chemical compound, the first and most important thing is to determine its detailed molecular structure.
biology came class degree finish goes guy helps medical school student students ted towards until
When I came to Denver, ... I wasn't much of a student and really didn't think I could finish with a degree. Then I look at Ted who has a 3.94 GPA and working for a biology degree towards medical school. The guy is up until 5 a.m. doing homework, then goes to class and practice, even helps me with school stuff. He makes all of us better students and players.
biology humanities interest left scholars shown theory
Many scholars working in the humanities have already shown interest in brain research. For years, contemporary theory in the humanities has left the body and biology out of their discussions. Siri Hustvedt
biology aggressive animal-kingdom
As a general rule of biology, migratory species are less 'aggressive' than sedentary ones. Bruce Chatwin
biology cancer estimates higher lung molecular risk studies
There are more studies, the risk estimates are more consistently elevated, and they're higher than they were for lung cancer. Plus, there's all these toxicology studies and molecular biology they didn't have back then.
biology evolution fact further generation govern laws learned physics step taught terms understanding universe until
Our generation has been taught to think in terms of the evolution of the universe, but the fact is that physics didn't get into evolution until the 1960's - it was just this biology thing. Then we learned how the universe is evolving. Now we're going a step further and understanding that even the laws that govern the universe are evolving! Matthew Fox
biology finite fuels isolated major number otherwise
Right now, oil is being isolated around the globe, and there is a major effort in shipping, trucking and otherwise transporting that oil around to a very finite number of refineries. Biology allows us to make these same fuels in a much more distributed fashion. Craig Venter
biology converts define earlier interested interests led molecular switch term time
I've been around a long time, and I've been interested in memory for a long time. And one of my earlier interests in molecular biology of memory led me to define the switch that converts short term to long term memory. Eric Kandel
biology concerned experience humanities mind natural sciences
The biology of mind bridges the sciences - concerned with the natural world - and the humanities - concerned with the meaning of human experience. Eric Kandel
biology conscious processing ultimate understand
One of the ultimate challenges for biology is to understand the brain's processing of unconscious and conscious perception, emotion, and empathy. Eric Kandel
biology bit certain cure difference exactly figuring genes increase knowing people relatively
The difference between microeconomics and macroeconomics is a bit like the difference between biology and medicine. Knowing that certain genes increase the risk of cancer is relatively easy. Figuring out exactly which people will get sick, or how to cure them, is a lot more complicated. Alex Berenson
biology cells help knowing knowledge tick
Knowing what makes these cells tick may help by furthering our knowledge of the biology of the tumor.
biology combining exciting math
I think the exciting part is that we're going to be combining biology with engineering, biology with math and biology with genomics.
biology design taught
I think intelligent design should not be taught in the biology classroom. Michael Ruse
biology chemistry interested lawn learn people plants school strictly understanding
Basically, it's strictly a school to learn about gardening, lawn work, understanding the chemistry and biology of plants ? things people are interested in around their home. Jack Smith
biology clock components dead follow information labeled molecular single ticks together
No one had ever labeled the components to follow them over time, to see one clock as it ticks away in a single cell. All the biochemistry and molecular biology that had been done on this had been piecing together information from dead flies. Michael Young
biology brought enjoyed fit high lab loved realized santa
I enjoyed biology in high school, and that brought me to a research lab at U.C. Santa Barbara. I loved doing experiments, and I had fun with them. I realized this kind of problem-solving fit my intellectual style.
biology legitimate people perfectly talk teenagers
It's perfectly legitimate to talk about intelligent design. I think teenagers are the very people who should talk about this issue, but I don't think there's a place for it in the biology class. Michael Ruse
biology science teaching theory wrong
Creationism is not biology and has no place in a biology class. What makes it wrong is not the theory of creationism, but the teaching of creationism as part of a science class.
biology chemistry clinical emergence eventual expect fully global great growth hub potential rapid research taking
Taking a long-term view, we fully expect China's eventual emergence as a full-fledged R&D hub in any global network. Capabilities in chemistry and clinical research are already well established with great potential for rapid growth in biology and preclinical development.
biology breath carbon chemistry forcing function oceans plants understand
That just a forcing function though. To really understand the carbon cycle, you have to look at the circulation, biology and chemistry of the oceans where the carbon dioxide goes, the photosynthesis of plants as they breath carbon dioxide, the decomposition of plants, and many other forces.
biology general large poor science sort terms ugly ways
It's sort of nice in more general terms to see that computational science, computational biology is being recognized. It's become a very large field, and it's always in some ways been the poor sister, or the ugly sister, to experimental biology.
