We know evolution happened because innumerable bits of data from myriad fields of science conjoin to paint a rich portrait of life's pilgrimage.

But the power of science lies in open publication, which, with the rise of the Internet, is no longer constrained by the price of paper.

Rocket science has been mythologized all out of proportion to its true difficulty.

There are relatively few science fiction or fantasy books with the main character being an old person.

I dislike literary jargon and never use it. Criticism has only one function and that is to help readers read and understand literature. It is not a science, it is an aid to art.

One of my degrees was a science degree in biology.

I was horrible at science and math. I couldn't pass a test to save my life! I'm surprised that it didn't take me until I was 20 to graduate. That's why my role is so cool - Grissom is the complete opposite of me.

My personal feeling about science fiction is that it's always in some way connected to the real world, to our everyday world.
