I always assumed scientists were free to ask any question, pursue any line of inquiry without fear or reprisal.

There must be no barriers to freedom of inquiry. There is no place for dogma in science. The scientist is free, and must be free to ask any question, to doubt any assertion, to seek for any evidence, to correct any errors.

My parents, products of the Great Depression, were successful people, but lived in a state of constant fear that my sister and I, and they, would sink into the kind of economic insecurity that their generation knew so well.

It has been discovered that one of our scientists has fabricated data for use in scientific research. The results ... are based on false facts. This is very serious.

Science should always be in the business of attempting to disprove itself.

The most important things was the free throw line, no question. The other thing was, down the stretch, I saw us lose our composure much more than I would have thought at this point of the season.
