I would like to take the stigma away. ‘Mastectomy’ the word seemed so scary to me at first. After doing research and seeing the advancements, the surgery has come a long way from 20 years ago. The results can be incredible. – Giuliana Rancic
Our research is so complex that the resources of a single region of the world are no longer enough – both intellectually and economically, it must be a global effort. – Fabiola Gianotti

You can’t look at the problem and say, ‘I want them to do more, better, faster miracles – and not invest in research, not invest in development, and have those miracles delivered to me free.’ It’s unrealistic. – Dean Kamen

My wife and I now live in the summers in northern Michigan in an environment which is wonderfully conducive to research, and where most of my work in the last 15 years has been done. – Douglass North
