I do love science fiction but it's not really a genre unto itself it always seems to merge with another genre. With the few movies I've done I've ended up playing with genre in some way or another so any genre that's made to mix with others is like candy to me. It allows you to use big mythic situations to talk about ordinary things.

If you look at the purported dangers of salt or fat there is no consensus of support in scientific literature. So I would ask first: 'Is it possible to have an informed government that actually follows the science?' From what I've seen it's not likely.

Science almost from its beginnings has been truly international in character. National prejudices disappear completely in the scientist's search for truth.

They've also asked me now to start on another series that we're gonna do after this Frontier Earth. But it's not science fiction it's more in the Mystery and Crime division and that's another area I'm very interested in.

If co-operation is thus the lifeblood of science and technology it is similarly vital to society as a whole.

I'm crazy about Grant: his character his nature his science in fighting and everything else. But I don't like the idea that he never accepted the blame for anything always found someone else to blame for any mistake that was ever made including blaming Prentiss for Shiloh.

We've established a Washington State Academy of Sciences that will enable us to make decisions based on science about what is right for our state meaning the quality of our lives will get better.

In my family as in most middle-class Indian families I knew when I was growing up science and mathematics were held in awe.

All the mathematical sciences are founded on relations between physical laws and laws of numbers so that the aim of exact science is to reduce the problems of nature to the determination of quantities by operations with numbers.

I started in this racket in the early '70s and when I was president of the Science Fiction Writers of America of which I was like the sixth president I was the first one nobody ever heard of.

It may be far in the future but there's some kind of logical way to get from where we are to where the science fiction is.

We do a hard fantasy as well as hard science fiction and I think I probably single-handedly recreated military science fiction. It was dead before I started working in it.

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

One of my degrees was a science degree in biology.

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.

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

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

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.

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

Anecdotal thinking comes naturally science requires training.

But there is only one surefire method of proper pattern recognition and that is science.

I meant exactly what I said: that we are saddled with a culture that hasn't advanced as far as science.

As the Nation's primary supporter of research in the physical sciences the DOE Office of Science led the way in creating a unique system of large-scale specialized often one-of-a-kind facilities for scientific discovery.

Since coming to Congress I have been advocating for increased resources for research in the physical sciences and for the Department of Energy Office of Science in particular.
