Today the function of the artist is to bring imagination to science and science to imagination, where they meet, in the myth.

Science knows no country, because knowledge belongs to humanity, and is the torch which illuminates the world.

Science, like art, religion, commerce, warfare, and even sleep, is based on presuppositions.

More and more NFL players have been willing their bodies to science so that their brains can be studied even if they die of other causes.

Science has yet to isolate the Godiva Chocolate or Prada gene, but that doesn't mean your weakness for pricey swag isn't woven into your DNA. According to a new study of identical twins, it's less TV ads or Labor Day sales that make you buy the things you do than the tastes and temperaments that are already part of you at birth.
