“The method of science, as stodgy and grumpy as it may seem, is far more important than the findings of science.”

“Science is a way of thinking much more than it is a body of knowledge.”

“I maintain there is much more wonder in science than in pseudoscience. And in addition, to whatever measure this term has any meaning, science has the additional virtue, and it is not an inconsiderable one, of being true.”

“It is the tension between creativity and skepticism that has produced the stunning and unexpected findings of science.”

“Not explaining science seems to me perverse. When you're in love, you want to tell the world.”

“There are many hypotheses in science that are wrong. That's perfectly alright; it's the aperture to finding out what's right. Science is a self-correcting process. To be accepted, new ideas must survive the most rigorous standards of evidence and scrutiny.”
