"The virtues of science are skepticism and independence of thought." ― Walter Gilbert Topic(s): Science More From Walter Gilbert "Science doesn’t in the slightest depend on trust. It depends completely on the belief that you can demonstrate something for yourself." "It’s easier to change what you do than people think it is. If you don’t change, your field changes around you." "Scientists tend to be skeptical, but the weakness of the community of science is that it tends to move into preformed establishment modes that say this is the only way of doing science, the only valid view."

I love visiting different cultures and finding out how they make up a society."― Eliza Dushku "Bush reiterated his stand to conservatives opposing his decision on stem cell research.
