“It is the great beauty of our science, chemistry, that advancement in it, whether in a degree great or small, instead of exhausting the subjects of research, opens the doors to further and more abundant knowledge, overflowing with beauty and utility.” DoorsSubjectsDegreesResearchChemistryAdvancementUtilityExhausting Book:Experimental Researches in Electricity: Series 1-14 [Phil. trans., 1831-38] 1839 Source: Experimental Researches in Electricity: Series 1-14 [Phil. trans., 1831-38] 1839
“At one point I wanted to work for NASA and be an astrophysicist, so I did physics, math, and chemistry before realizing I probably wasn't quite smart enough to do that. But I am still hugely interested in cosmology and astrophysics. That is my geeky subject area.” StillsEnoughWantedRealizingSubjectsSmartAreasMathPhysicsChemistryCosmologyNasaAstrophysics Author:Gemma Chan
“The most important steps that I followed were studying math and science in school. I was always interested in physics and astronomy and chemistry and I continued to study those subjects through high school and college on into graduate school. That's what prepared me for being an astronaut; it actually gave me the qualifications to be selected to be an astronaut.” ImportantSchoolStepsStudySubjectsCollegeHigh SchoolPreparedMathPhysicsAstronomyChemistryGraduatesAstronautSelectedQualificationsMath And ScienceGraduate School Author:Sally Ride
