Research Quotations | Page 5

Research – and using what you learn from it to analyze every situation – is what separates being unreasonable from being irrational.

It's amazing how much research has gone into making some of the worst decisions.

My research consists of studying the effects of putting somebody like me into a world like this.

There is just no sensible, logical reason why we would not make use of stem cell research.

I'm one of those people who really likes to do my research.

There's a general intuition around the nonprofit world these days that younger generations are less likely to join. But I have found in my research that that's quite wrong.

Research shows that social media is comprised of two components: social and media.

You're thinking about putting scientists into small cages and doing research on them. I wish it could happen sometimes.

We are honored to welcome these outstanding individuals to the Board, ... We look forward to combining their expertise and guidance to continue in our mission to perform outstanding basic research in the life-sciences and to provide the foundation of knowledge that is critical to medical progress.

We did considerable research on it and came to the conclusion that it was a young man who made one error in judgment. And the motivation for it was such that while it doesn't validate his choice, there was no pattern of any kind in that regard. We are delighted we have him.

I have inquired for most of my adult life about studies that might show that the death penalty is a deterrent. And I have not seen any research that would substantiate that point.

What we know from the brain research is that kids and alcohol don't mix. It impacts their frontal lobe so decision making judgment and risk taking increases. So it's a double mix of danger.

There are millions of pieces here that we cannot name because we don't have the research anymore. But that's the sad tale of Hollywood. You cannot name a major studio that did not at some time send things to the landfill.

The only possible interpretation of any research whatever in the 'social sciences' is: some do, some don't

We deeply regret Sen. Frist's endorsement of an embryonic stem cell research policy that would turn living human beings into commodities for exploitation. ... Treating living human embryos as mere fodder for experimentation crosses a vital ethical line and contravenes the sanctity of human life.

We're actually too early in the planning stages to say what's going there. My opinion in what I'd like to see there is education and marine environmental research tied in with nicely planned conservation communities.

We hope to see a dialog begin that puts educated and aware consumers into energy policy decisions. We undertook this research to see if perceptions (about energy efficiency) were true in the real world.

We did research and found that our customers, with the cost of fuels and the cost of living being high, were concerned about putting roofs over their heads and food on their tables. They were either going longer between oil changes or not getting them done.

We've staked out as our business model to operate in those areas of the IT industry where research can make a difference, which is pretty nice for the research team.

The fact that parents who smoke can exert a protective anti-smoking effect on their children might seem counter-intuitive. Other research has already found that strong parental attitudes and actions against smoking reduce the odds of children using tobacco. Our study found that the same is true even when the parents themselves are smokers.

The fact that it came up during strategic planning, we decided to research it further.

The extension of the IBM, Sony and Toshiba relationship to fundamental research is extremely promising. This joint development project will help accelerate the cycle from fundamental research to commercialization based on detailed feasibility studies of potential technologies, device structures, innovative materials, and unique processing tools.

The CPRC has been chosen as the recipient of this award for their long history of promoting GIS both locally and around the world, ... As pioneers of GIS in Saskatchewan and having contributed to more than 100 laudable GIS projects, the CPRC continues to provide cutting-edge GIS research and specialized application to environmental and cartographic projects in the Canadian plains.

The facility would expand the ability of Scripps Florida researchers to do some of the kinds of research they're doing.

The process included both qualitative research and a formal quantitative telephone survey of Mighty Ducks season ticket holders. While there was support for keeping the current name, the majority of those surveyed, nearly two-thirds, supported some sort of name change.

The real issue is, who's in control of my online profile, who can access it, and who's selling it? When I show up at a travel site, do I want them to know who I am and what frequent flyer program I belong to? Yes. When I'm doing research on AIDS because I have a friend in the hospital, do I want that as part of my profile? I don't think so.

There is cancer research going on that we feel is viable, and through gifts like this, it will fund that research.

The process will require a lot of research and time. The ultimate decision is one we will not take lightly or in a haphazard function. The terms of reference are designed to give us a total picture that will tell us whether they are ready for 2007 or not.

The pontiff reiterated his opposition to stem cell research

What we demand is integrity and honesty of the research that is rendered,

Well, I am a dilettante. It's only in England that dilettantism is considered a bad thing. In other countries it's called interdisciplinary research.

You don't market-research a novel; you really are writing it for yourself. It's a hobby, in many ways. The problem becomes what you do when you're confronted by criticism. You just don't listen to it.

Society has recognized over time that certain kinds of scientific inquiry can endanger society as a whole and has applied either directly, or through scientific/ethical constraints, restrictions on the kind and amount of research that can be done in those areas.

Fortunately I had a great intern who did a lot of the research on Andy's prices, which of course are phenomenal, but getting them straight - you know, he's reached this $100million plateau that only a handful of other artists have reached, which puts him in the company of Cezanne, Klimt, Picasso, and such.

I shall not cease learning while I live, nor when I arrive in the spirit-world… and when I again receive my body, I shall …still continue my researches

It's a practice for me every day, sometimes every hour of every day. It is an absolute practice. When I went into the research, I really thought that there are authentic people and inauthentic people, period. What I found is, there people who practice authenticity and people who don't. The people who practice authenticity work their ass off at it.

I am a full-time Research Fellow at the Machine Intelligence Research Institute, a small 501(c)(3) public charity supported primarily by individual donations.

We have a research triangle park in South Carolina. We have three major research universities, that makes a triangle. Unfortunately, it covers the entire state.

We have a really urgent problem with our deficit, especially compared with the United States, in science, research and innovation.

Why do they call it research if I've only done it this one time?

Too many scholars think of research as purely a cerebral pursuit. If we do nothing with the knowledge we gain, then we have wasted our study. Books can store information better than we can--what we we do that books cannot is interpret. So if one is not going to draw conclusions, then one might as well just leave the information in the texts.

Before that I was a scientist. I did research in population biology. And that's what I always go back to, it helps me to remember that people are not the end of the world, although we may be when it comes to it. We're just one species among millions in this world.

We're looking to do all kinds of interesting research. We want to be different from other polls. . . . We're not just going after horse-race issues. We want to talk about concerns people face day-to-day.

This proposal shows that the Council will produce research of the highest quality. This research has the potential to bring significant improvements to audience measurement. Results could offer new models for recruitment as well as improved sample representation.

This program will be the most comprehensive and broadest program for stem cell research training in the country and I assume in the world,

This program is a terrific example of the blending of science and entertainment. It fits wonderfully with Calit2's mission of helping the public understand what research organizations like ours are doing and how it might impact their lives.

There are volumes of research on work-force housing by the Horizon Council task force. We are putting together a symposium in a few months to study the best practices being done.

In mathematics we find the primitive source of rationality; and to mathematics must the biologists resort for means to carry out their researches.

All I'm armed with is research.

NASA is doing nothing but development. They're not doing research in manned spaceflight at all and I see no reason for them to do that because we already know that it will work and we already know exactly how it will work.

A true creator researches how to have confidence in nonsense.

Research is a way of taking calculated risks to bring about incalculable consequences.

Most of the research which is done is determined by the requirement that it shall, in a fairly obvious and predictable way, reinforce the approved or fashionable theories.

I learned what research was all about as a research student [with] Stoppani ... Max Perutz, and ... Fred Sanger... From them, I always received an unspoken message which in my imagination I translated as "Do good experiments, and don't worry about the rest."

There is some research that suggests that viruses like the flu are really actually kind of at the razor's edge when it comes to mutation. They're mutating so fast that if they mutated much faster they would actually develop a lot of harmful mutations that could slow them down and cripple them and eventually literally drive them extinct.

I love research so much that I do an enormous amount; it helps put off the moment of starting to write the story.

The insistence on complete certainty about the full details of global warming-the most serious threat we have ever faced-is actually an effort to avoid facing the awful, uncomfortable truth: that we must act boldly, decisively, comprehensively, and quickly, even before we know every last detail about the crisis. Those who continue to argue that the appropriate response is merely additional research are simply seeking to camouflage timidity or protect their vested interest in the status quo.

The simplest way to assure sales is to keep changing the product the market for new things is indefinitely elastic. One of the fundamental purposes of advertising, styling, and research is to foster a healthy dissatisfaction.

Research is an organized method for keeping you reasonably dissatisfied with what you have.

A research problem is not solved by apparatus; it is solved in a man's head.

Bankers regard research as most dangerous a thing that makes banking hazardous due to the rapid changes it brings about in industry.

I often say that research is a way of finding out what you are going to do when you can't keep on doing what you are doing now.

If I want to stop a research program I can always do it by getting a few experts to sit in on the subject, because they know right away that it was a fool thing to try in the first place.

Research means that you don't know, but are willing to find out.

For me, losing a tennis match isn't failure, it's research.

We had books in our library already on this art. That meant we could do research in our own collection.

We had been giving erroneous numbers for research expenditures for many, many years. My position was, fix it all right now. Do it all at one time.

When I came here in November 2002, DTAC was in a quite challenging situation. I remember the marketing research companies told us the DTAC brand looked like an old sick lady.

Research does not support any part of Race to the Top

From an operating system research point of view, Unix is if not dead certainly old stuff, and it's clear that people should be looking beyond it.

Unix has retarded OS research by 10 years and linux has retarded it by 20.

Although such research [into the paranormal] has yet to produce anything in the way of a repeatable controlled experiment, its practitioners argue that its revolutionary potentialities justify its continuation. My own feeling is that after a century of total failure it has become a bloody bore.

Just as Leonardo da Vinci studied human anatomy and dissected corpses, so I try to dissect souls.

The excuse or toleration of cruelty upon any living creature by a woman is a deadly sin against the grandest force in nature - maternal love ... In not a single instance known to science has the cure of any human disease resulted necessarily from this fallacious method of research.

The primary thrust of the research has been with cars. But the (fuel cell) technology can also be used in remote power systems and future uses for cell phones, computers and other batteries.

The primary lesson that needs to be learned from this experience is that each recovery program has unique aspects. A research component that watches what is going on and learns from that is essential. There was no research component to this program at all.

The primary focus of Amgen research in Seattle is inflammation and oncology.

The price tag was high really due to the research and program development. We're all aware that at that price, this system couldn't be duplicated at other schools. But most of the money was paid for the development. So my prediction is that in the future, the price of this system will be much lower.

I got as much information as I could, so I wouldn't look stupid, but this is a post 9/11 world and there's only so much you can do with the FBI in terms of research.

We need a real jumpstart in propulsion and research. I think we have to go beyond chemical propulsion.

We need to make sure physicians are aware that women may need special tests and different diagnostic procedures to identity and treat cardiovascular disease. Future challenges will require more research to understand disparities in care.

When we say there is going to be a private research and a public research institute, that is true. But we expect that the science at the two institutes is going to be very collaborative. Our hope is that it is essentially seamless.

Invest in basic research and recruit the best minds.

We're set up to be a major research facility for the world, really, in this area. We're trying to lower the costs of reverse osmosis, for sure. In general the costs have already gone down a lot - from about $14 per thousand gallons 15 years ago to about $2 per thousand gallons today. But we're also looking at ways to customize this technology for areas where there really are no other options.

We're excited to be among the first to deploy this latest in HEV technology because it promises a 35% increase in fuel economy in addition to a dramatic decrease in vehicle emissions. UPS has been involved in HEV research for more than eight years, but that's just one part of a multifaceted strategy to reduce fuel dependency, cut greenhouse emissions and in the long run, reduce operating costs.

We're not buying some report that's going to go on the shelf and never be seen again. This is a research and marketing tool we can start using immediately once we get it.

like a lot of research tends to overlook children in some areas.

Like anything, if you are looking to reach less acculturated fans, the first aspect is to give them an understanding of the game, because they did not grow up around it, ... From the market research done, there is a real openness and willingness for them to become more American, and football is part of the American experience.

Like any company, we want to make sure our associates, customers and local communities feel good about us. This research provided a benchmark to help us understand what we are doing well and where we need to improve.

Like a kid on a playground, he said, 'Well, that is awesome. This is terrific research.'

Lung cancer continues to be portrayed as a self-induced cancer that does not deserve public research funding.

Mac support for Lotus is a check-box item. We have a lot of health-care customers and maybe 1 percent of a company's research department is on Macs but they have 99 percent of the influence.

Leukemia is the number one killer of our children in the U.S. so to be able to raise money for research to find a cure is truly wonderful. Plus, it is just an awesome group of folks.

Let us use the evolution controversy to intensify our efforts to provide a world-class education to our students and to support the faculty who engage in the important research and teaching missions of our schools and universities,

Love permeates all things and laws. Scientists should research it more.

Less than ten per cent of cancer research funding goes to early detection. Our emphasis is on collaboration across technologies and institutions. We have assembled some of the world's leading researchers, including Dr. Brad Nelson from the BC Cancer Agency, to attack early detection in a new collaborative approach.

Many of the people in the legislature send their kids to private schools and I think they would defend them, defend the current system. I don't know that we've done enough research where we can defend this before the legislature or in court. If we're going to go this way we better have some facts to back our decision.

Many of the factors that can put our brain health at risk are things we can modify and control. This article points to the possibility that healthier living can significantly contribute to reducing the numbers of sick and mentally declining older people, and reduce healthcare costs. To accomplish that, we need more research to show us which specific combinations of lifestyle choices, and also future therapies, will maintain our brain and emotional health.

Many of my colleagues are not able to run their family budget. On the other hand, I look at some of the apparatchiks in research councils, and I have even less trust in their abilities. Good intentions have always paved the road to hell.

Many consumers are confused or surprised by the report. ISU has an extensive soy research program so we want to set the record straight.
