“The effort to eliminate synthetic pesticides because of unsubstantiated fears about residues in food will make fruits and vegetables more expensive, decrease consumption, and thus increase cancer rates. The levels of synthetic pesticide residues are trivial in comparison to natural chemicals, and thus their potential for cancer causation is extremely low. [Ames believes that "to eat your veggies" is the best way to prevent cancer.]” WayBelieveScienceNaturalLevelsEffortLowsIncreaseFruitRateCancerBest WayExpensiveComparisonChemicalsVegetablesConsumptionDecreaseSyntheticFruits And VegetablesCausationPesticides Author:Bruce Ames
“I claim that many patterns of Nature are so irregular and fragmented, that, compared with Euclid - a term used in this work to denote all of standard geometry - Nature exhibits not simply a higher degree but an altogether different level of complexity ... The existence of these patterns challenges us to study these forms that Euclid leaves aside as being "formless," to investigate the morphology of the "amorphous."” DifferentFormScienceUsedTermChallengesLevelsExistenceStudyHigherDegreesStandardsClaimsPatternsComplexityGeometryExhibitsDifferent LevelsFragmentedEuclidMorphology Author:Benoit Mandelbrot

“It is high time that laymen abandoned the misleading belief that scientific enquiry is a cold dispassionate enterprise, bleached of imaginative qualities, and that a scientist is a man who turns the handle of discovery; for at every level of endeavour scientific research is a passionate undertaking and the Promotion of Natural Knowledge depends above all on a sortee into what can be imagined but is not yet known.” MenScienceTurnsBeliefNaturalLevelsQualityKnownColdDependsResearchDiscoveryScientistPassionateHandleEnterpriseAbandonedImaginativePromotionMisleadUndertakingsEndeavourScientific ResearchEnquiryLaymanDispassionate Author:Peter Medawar
