In Britain, like most of the developed world, stem-cell research is regarded as a great opportunity. America will be left behind if it doesnt change policy. – Stephen Hawking
How thoroughly it is ingrained in mathematical science that every real advance goes hand in hand with the invention of sharper tools and simpler methods which, at the same time, assist in understanding earlier theories and in casting aside some more complicated developments. – David Hilbert
