It's worthy of scientific study. I can tell you none have been planned. But it is tobacco.And all tobacco contains any number of chemicals that are harmful.

It's very important for the scientific community to remember that yes they should make profits but they have to share knowledge. Sometimes there is a clash between societal interests and proprietary interests and the world scientific community has to remember that.

It's time to eliminate the influence of industry money on the scientific process. The trustworthiness of the scientific community is at stake. So is the health of thousands of women. I don't know where the women are going to go to get answers now.

I wanted to proceed according to a scientific approach, and we have been extremely cautious.

I want to be clear. We are about open and full communications. We don't get involved when it comes to editing scientific information.

They could do any project dealing with a scientific process as long as it goes by Ohio standards. We want them to do their project to the best of their ability, whatever their ability is. Students can keep their projects and add on to it each year. Then they have the opportunity to move on to the state level and win scholarships.

The two sides are working for cooperation in the areas of nuclear energy applications in various sectors, including power generation, nuclear waste management, exchange and training of scientific and technical staff and joint research and development activities.

The two initiatives in Arizona and California attempt to sidestep this very important scientific and medical process,

It was a far less scientific process back then.

There's two cases here. Willis can't be actually innocent and Willingham couldn't be executed based on the same scientific evidence.

These observations of the moon have been a challenging and highly successful technological achievement. The images will inform both scientific studies of lunar geology and future decisions on further lunar exploration.

This is inconsistent with virtually every shred of scientific evidence we have.

Not only is the Web site creative and fun, it provides a wonderful overview of the basic scientific concepts involved with electricity and natural gas. It also has important safety messages that can prevent injuries and save lives. It is a wonderful resource for any youngster who wants to learn about energy.

The necessary investigation, motion practice, discovery and defense scientific testing simply cannot be accomplished without additional time.

Again, it looks like it's too expensive. Looks like it's a little too much. It's good for the Guidant shareholders. But we'll see in a couple of years. I think it will play out similar to history, and that is Boston Scientific will look pretty smart here.

Any time we see a tobacco company saying a product is safer than other tobacco products, our antennae go up. We're looking at whether the claims regarding the health effects are factually accurate and backed up by scientific evidence.

Ski jumping, from the scientific viewpoint, is a wonderful problem.

At the present time I am trying to win acceptance for a program of support for scientific computing in universities from industry and government.

Evolution is a way of understanding the world that continues to hold up day after day to scientific tests.

Evolution is among the most well-established theories in the scientific community. To doubt it sounds to biologists as absurd as denying relativity does to physicists.

A paradigm is a general theory, like the Darwinian theory of evolution, which has achieved general acceptance in the scientific community.

The lack of scientific evidence should not be used as the basis for not doing anything. By the time you finally get the scientists there, there's nothing left.

The key to effective censorship is to make sure no one's looking, and this time everyone was watching. If BLM can point to a single other instance where it has suspended scientific research because of alleged illegal lobbying, I'll eat my hat.

The last thing we should want is to have a politician campaigning on behalf of a drug, ... It's a crazy way to make what should be a scientific decision.

The method we have presented is not a replacement for embryonic stem cells. The advantages these offer are purely scientific ones.

Their scientific communities are eager to conduct research with Chinese scientists.

Their situation is like cell phones. Studies have been batted back and forth for years. But there's no definitive scientific evidence that would demand concern.

The issue of the environment as seen by Pope Francis is not a matter of purely scientific or, indeed, theological debate: it involves economic and political views on how the world's poor can be brought out of poverty while protecting the environment.

Their focus has been in a couple of key verticals, especially in markets like digital media - you can't go anywhere without having Apple in that market, ... They have done a really good job of penetrating that market - some of the scientific and technical markets are a crossover from that because of the high-powered computing aspects.

The failure to follow scientific advice and the fish kills of 2002 is now being put onto the backs of family fishermen by taking away their livelihood.

The FDA really ignored the scientific evidence. This is absolutely the best way of assuring that when something does go wrong, that people have that second opportunity to prevent the unintended pregnancy.

The FDA really ignored the scientific evidence, ... This is absolutely the best way of assuring that when something does go wrong, that people have that second opportunity to prevent the unintended pregnancy.

The FDA is reforming its whole approach to manufacturing, trying to modernized manufacturing. We hope to stimulate scientific discovery. We think this will help translate new discoveries into the hands of patients.

The centers we chose have a unique blend of expertise as they do research in HPC systems and, in many cases, are closely affiliated with a HPC center, giving them a unique insight from both a scientific and industry perspective on what will actually help solve real problems.

The census is a scientific effort. We know that a census number is an estimate. It's not the truth,

I'm glad we're not losing them completely in California. Ed has tremendously high scientific standards, and his upbeat, 'can-do,' friendly personality is wonderful at getting people to work together on projects.

In general, one has to ask why complete the International Space Station anyway. One worries about putting lots of resources into that because it diverts resources from the scientific exploration which needs to be done.

Indeed, the asteroid's orbit is particularly attractive for spacecraft rendezvous, and the extraordinary close encounter in April 2029 provides a unique opportunity to investigate a number of scientific NEO issues.

In many ways the alarm bells in the scientific community have been going off for quite some time. But they have never dramatically impacted the general public.

I'm not aware of any good scientific data, even if you accepted everything plaintiffs say, to show a risk in the time frame in this case.

If nuclear technology is useful for the United States, isn't it useful for other countries? We do not accept global nuclear and scientific 'apartheid'.

If networked science is to reach its potential, scientists will have to embrace and reward the open sharing of all forms of scientific knowledge, not just traditional journal publication. Networked science must be open science.

In 1989, the scientific community was completely unprepared to deal with an oil spill of such magnitude. There wasn't even a local veterinarian on site.

I?m calling the discovery of the two new satellites the first scientific result of New Horizons.

If science is the driver, what scientific activities are going to dominate? Decisions on this will affect the structure of the science effort as a whole, the landing site selection, the nature of robotic predecessors, the types of experiments developed, and a host of other issues that require sustained thought and planning.

If we are to remain preeminent in transforming knowledge into economic value, ... America's system of higher education must remain the world's leader in generating scientific and technological breakthroughs and in meeting the challenge to educate workers.

If you publish a scientific paper it is very hard to start a nationwide debate about something. If you do this in a movie, you can start a debate. We like to create a bridge between those two worlds - film and science.

In the wake of my spiritual experience there came a vision of a society of alcoholics, each identifying with and transmitting his experience to the next -- chain style. If each sufferer were to carry the news of the scientific hopelessness of alcoholism to each new prospect, he might be able to lay every newcomer wide open to a transforming spiritual experience. This concept proved to be the foundation of such success as Alcoholics Anonymous has since achieved.

In the final analysis, our job is to get this thing started. What's gone on before with Scientific Games is what's gone on before. ... Both companies were measured against them and GTECH came out.

In the larger debate over intelligent design, this decision will be of minor significance. As we've repeatedly stressed, the ultimate validity of intelligent design will be determined not by the courts but by the scientific evidence pointing to design.

Instead of starting a new science magazine titled The Sciences, why didn't we start a new magazine with the old title Scientific American?

Intelligent design is simply the most recent version of creationism, which is admittedly a religious concept. There is no scientific basis to intelligent design.

Intelligent design is clearly not a scientific theory. It's sort of anti-science, in a way, because it says that the world is too complicated, too hard to figure out, so there must be a supernatural answer.

In spite of data gaps, methodological limitations, and serious scientific uncertainties, the Environmental Performance Index demonstrates that environmental policy results can be tracked with the same outcome-oriented and performance-based rigor that applies to poverty reduction, education, health promotion.

Innovation requires a novel approach to scientific problem solving, higher level of resource commitments over much longer time durations.

In particular, it gives them a strong foundation as they're heading toward high school, because they have planned and executed a real experiment following the scientific process.

I had found myself a new mission - and once more my recurring dilemma between corporate commercial needs and personal scientific ambitions was solved unexpectedly.

It has taken fifteen billion years to get you here. That is scientific fact. We are not just the products of our parents. Sixty percent of our body is hydrogen atoms. The hydrogen atoms in us go back to the fireball fourteen billion years ago. We have been around a long time, and it has been a great birthing process to bring us forward.

I succumbed to temptation and became a scientific administrator, first as Technical Director of the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center from 1982 to 1984, and then Director from 1984 to 1999. The job of a laboratory director is much different from the job of a physicist, particularly in a time of tight budgets. It is much easier to do physics when someone else gets the funds than it is to get the funds for others to do the research.

I read a lot of scientific papers on the history of evolution and spent time talking to scientists. I started to write it in the spring of 2004 and wanted the book to look at the biggest questions people have about human origins, such as what were the first hominids and how did our ancestors evolve to walk upright?

Clearly the scientific credibility of Korean investigators has been compromised.

Citations are an acknowledgement of intellectual debt. The impressive number of citations these exceptional researchers have received is evidence of their profound influence on modern scientific thought.

High performance scientific and creative customers need to squeeze every last drop of performance out of their systems. We're thrilled that Intel has brought their respected suite of tools to help Apple developers maximize the performance of their applications on Intel-based Macs.

How are we doing? How are you feeling? How's it going out there? It's certainly not a scientific study by any means, it wasn't mean to be. It was just meant to be a communication tool.

I don't know if there's a scientific way to do it.

Cherry continues to the dominant species in bedroom and dining room groups and North America is the only place where it is grown. Chinese cherry is not a true cherry. It's not a scientific cousin. If the piece says Chinese cherry, it is not the same species.

By all scientific medical standards, I shouldn't be here.

Genetics is in pretty deep weeds right now because we put billions of dollars into basic scientific research to sequence the human genome and very little in the transitional aspects of moving it into health care.

I don't think that's going to happen here, because there is not substantial overlap between what Boston Scientific has been doing, in general and in the Twin Cities, and what the Arden Hills Guidant facility is doing. In fact, it's entirely possible there might be jobs added to this company.

I don't think there's any question among the scientific community that rebuilding our barrier islands is a smart thing to do, because our whole coastline is retreating.

I don't see material upside or downside (for Boston Scientific shares) for the next 12 months.

I don't think Boston Scientific could have gotten its offer to $80 a share without Abbott. I don't think they could be there at all without what has in effect become, 'The Bank of Abbott.

How in heaven's name can a nation with a $1 trillion surplus threaten so much scientific research so vital to its future?

I cannot understand for the life of me why DOE is going forward with this licensing procedure when we do not know whether or not the scientific documentation upon which you are basing your decisions is, in fact, flawed.

I can no longer serve as staff when scientific and clinical evidence, fully evaluated and recommended for approval by the professional staff here, has been overruled.

I do not intend to sacrifice the scientific utility of the expedition to a mere record-breaking journey, but say frankly, all the same, that one of my great efforts will be to reach the southern geographical Pole.

Governments should want and even crave the best possible scientific advice. With reliable knowledge come better decisions, fewer mistakes and more results achieved for each pound spent.

For them to tie our hands behind our backs and prevent us from participating in this scientific frontier would be unconscionable. We have to oppose them with everything we've got.

For the central and Southern California populations, this is a very poor decisions with almost no scientific basis. So it is possible that this could end up in court again.

You can't assume something's dangerous just because there is no scientific evidence that it is. But it does leave open this question ... There's the potential for adverse effects to come out in some sort of study or an actual case. Potentially, it could backfire on them.

The market for alternative medicine is vast and growing, ... This trend must be guided by scientific inquiry, clinical judgment, regulatory authority and shared decision-making.

The ultimate goal is to provide in 5 years a sound scientific basis for the management of the barrier islands here and also around the United States.

The true scientific mind is not to be tied down by its own conditions of time and space. It builds itself an observatory erected upon the border line of present, which separates the infinite past from the infinite future. From this sure post it makes its sallies even to the beginning and to the end of all things.

These are issues that will be addressed by the scientific integrity panel.

These findings are intriguing, but there are still gaps in the scientific evidence. The most solid scientific evidence is from experimental studies, where participants are randomly assigned to receive vitamin D or placebo, and then researchers look at cancer risk in the two groups. That level of evidence doesn't currently exist." ()

This is a group again that has no scientific track record, never published a single scientific paper in this area,

This is a long-term scientific project for the future of human beings.

All decisions in the criminal justice system must be determined by the physical and scientific evidence, and the credible testimony corroborated by that evidence, not in response to public outcry.

The honeymoon is over. Boston Scientific won the deal, and now the work begins.

(The head of the crime lab) was committing perjury in criminal cases where he would intentionally misrepresent scientific data to help prosecutors get a conviction, even when he knew that that data was false.
