“The pace of progress in biology creates a foundation that naturally gets picked up by the biotech and pharmaceutical industry to solve rich-world diseases. This is attractive science. It's science that people want to work on.” PeopleWorldWantRichProgressIndustryDiseaseFoundationSolveAttractiveBiologyPacePharmaceuticalPharmaceutical IndustryBiotech Author:Bill Gates

“When I drink a Glass of water, it's thick and crawling with life. My mouth leads to the interior of my body - a caldron of disease, germs, and perversions of biology. I don't exist individually. I'm made of millions of living creatures, eating each other, decomposing, eating each other.” MadeBodyWaterMillionsDrinkCreaturesDiseaseEatingMouthsGlassesBiologyThickInteriorsGermsLiving CreaturesCrawlingPerversion Author:Michael Gira

“The advances of biology during the past 20 years have been breathtaking, particularly in cracking the mystery of heredity. Nevertheless, the greatest and most difficult problems still lie ahead. The discoveries of the 1970's about the chemical roots of memory in nerve cells or the basis of learning, about the complex behavior of man and animals, the nature of growth, development, disease and aging will be at least as fundamental and spectacular as those of the recent past.” MenYearsHas BeensStillsProblemPastScienceLyingDifficultGrowthMemoriesAnimalLearningMysteryDevelopmentDiseaseBehaviorDiscoveryRootsBasesFundamentalsAgingComplexesCellsBiologyNervesChemistryChemicalsNeverthelessSpectacularHeredityBreathtakingDifficult ProblemsRecent Past Author:H.

“We are now witnessing, after the slow fermentation of fifty years, a concentration of technical power aimed at the essential determinants of heredity, development and disease. This concentration is made possible by the common function of nucleic acids as the molecular midwife of all reproductive particles. Indeed it is the nucleic acids which, in spite of their chemical obscurity, are giving to biology a unity which has so far been lacking, a chemical unity.” GivingYearsMadeCommonDevelopmentEssentialsDiseaseFunctionUnityFiftySpiteConcentrationBiologyChemicalsLackingParticlesAcidObscurityGeneticsHeredityMidwifeFermentation Author:C.

“Evolution lies at the heart of biology.
