“I was born in California, raised a vegetarian, and love science fiction, so don't tell me how I need to be in order to fit your standards.”

“I've said this before, and I'm sure there are people who disagree, but I feel like one of the reasons there aren't a lot more women in stand-up - and there are many more now; it's not parity, but it's getting there - is that women are not socialized to look stupid or silly.

For Copernicus as for Tycho, the result was heightened awareness and dissatisfaction with discrepancies in the inherent data”

“We live in a time when science is validating what humans have known throughout the ages: that compassion is not a luxury; it is a necessity for our well-being, resilience, and survival.”

“Spacetime tells matter how to move; matter tells spacetime how to curve.”
