My goal was to develop into an independent research scientist studying clinical problems at the laboratory bench, but I felt that postgraduate residency training in internal medicine was necessary. – Peter Agre
Studying Sol’s interior by looking for analogous patterns on its incandescent face is known as helioseismology, an active – if largely unpronounceable – research area that uses sound as a probe of our home star. – Seth Shostak
While Google no longer has a search engine operation inside China, it has maintained a large presence in Beijing and Shanghai focused on research and development, advertising sales, and mobile platform development. – Rebecca MacKinnon
Too many years away from academia renders you pretty incompetent at research and teaching. So I had to go back. – Raghuram Rajan
It’s very productive scientifically; I often get some very good ideas for my research while hiking. – Reinhard Selten
PubMed Central is vital for researchers and the public alike. Only through free access can everyone find out where the cutting edge of research lies. With access to the latest studies, patients and their families have a much-needed piece of the puzzle as they consider treatment options and potential outcomes. – Richard J. Roberts
This time at Birmingham turned me into a general biologist, and ever since then I have always tried to take a biological approach to any research project that I have undertaken. – Paul Nurse
Note to academics: Aristarchus’ track record of astronomical research would probably have guaranteed him tenure somewhere, if tenure had been invented. His stack of reprints included measuring the distances of the Moon and Sun. – Seth Shostak
My priorities are to make sure we get the prescription drug bill, that we fund the research in NIH adequately, and that we fund the Center for Disease Control adequately. – Ralph Regula
Everyone knows that exercise can improve your health. Exercise is a key part of managing your weight and maintaining healthy hearts, lungs, and other bodily systems. But did you know that exercise can make you more productive? The latest research shows that a regular exercise routine can make you happier, smarter, and more energetic. – Robert Pozen
I like to get suggestions on what to read. I’ll look at Twitter, people I like, people I admire… I’ll go and research the book, download it on my phone and read it while I’m on the road. – Vance Joy
First of all, at any company, the investment in research and development in the products is the lifeblood, so that is a critical element of anyone’s future going forward. – Stephen Elop
The first misconception is that embryonic stem cell research is not legal. The fact is, embryonic stem cell research is completely legal. Research on embryonic stem cells has taken place for years. – Virginia Foxx
Stem cell research is the key to developing cures for degenerative conditions like Parkinson’s and motor neuron disease from which I and many others suffer. The fact that the cells may come from embryos is not an objection, because the embryos are going to die anyway. – Stephen Hawking
When I came up, it was all about originality and collective research. There is an awful lot of imitation going on now. – Steve Lacy
I was about 10 when I got into nuclear science. That was when that spark hit me. It took a few years of research, but when I was 14, I produced my first nuclear-fusion reaction. – Taylor Wilson
In the 1950s, the average person saw science as something that solved problems. With the advent of nuclear weapons and pollution, the idealistic aura around scientific research has been replaced by cynicism. – Sheldon Lee Glashow
It usually takes me about three years to research and write one of my historical sagas; this is one reason why I take medieval mystery breaks, for they can be completed in only a year. – Sharon Kay Penman
No one undertakes research in physics with the intention of winning a prize. It is the joy of discovering something no one knew before. – Stephen Hawking
I wouldn’t say I’m a method actor. I do research when I feel I don’t have enough experience for the part I’m playing. – Tim Robbins
My research clearly reveals that if we want to put inner-city workers to work immediately, we just can’t rely on the private sector. They don’t want to touch them; they don’t want to hire them. – William Julius Wilson
Skunk works differed from advanced research groups in that they were more than just product development groups. They had direct interaction with customers and controlled a sales channel which allowed them to negotiate their own deals with customers. – Steve Blank
Basically, I like research because research is like to solve the quiz, you know. Always there is a problem, and I have to solve the problem. So I like those patterns. It’s almost like research is sort of in a quiz. – Shuji Nakamura
I love the idea of sharing some of what we find in the research phase with a select community of people early on as a perk for their donating, and then gauging their feedback. – Steve James
