Tyrone Hayes Quotations

The secret to a happy, successful life of paranoia is to keep careful track of your persecutors.

I knew Tim Pastoor. I knew Sherry Ford. I knew many of the individuals who would follow me around. I knew who they were. I knew they had access to my email.

I finished all the math books by third grade and most of the reading books. So I was considered disruptive.

Professorship is not a career, but rather a life's pursuit. The people with whom I work daily exemplify and remind me of this promise.

Science is a principle and a process of seeking truth. Truth cannot be purchased, and thus, truth cannot be altered by money.

There are - any independent study, from any scientist that's not funded by Syngenta, has found similar problems with atrazine, not just my work on frogs.

Our impact is measured in an insignificant way. I now measure my impact differently.

We demonstrated that a realistic pesticides mixture (based on a mixture applied to an actual field) at low, ecologically relevant concentrations can have dramatic effects on amphibian development and growth and ultimately, we predict, survivorship.

It's not the pesticides alone or introduced predators or ultraviolet light or global warming that's causing this decline, but the interaction between these on an animal that is pretty sensitive to its environment.

In humans, this is like saying, 'The longer you are pregnant, the smaller your baby will be,' which means the womb is no longer a nurturing environment.

We've found that frogs are counting the number of chemicals in the water. If you expose them to two chemicals, there's a slight delay in metamorphosis; if you expose them to ten, there's even more of a delay. No single compound will do this.

We assume that we’re masters of our environment, rather than being a part of it.
