“Biological knowledge is doubling every five years.” — Janine Benyus Quote

Biological knowledge is doubling every five years.

Conserving habitats is a wellspring for the next industrial revolution.

Trees and bones are constantly reforming themselves along lines of stress. This algorithm has been put into a software program that's now being used to make bridges lightweight, to make building beams lightweight.

Green chemistry is replacing our industrial chemistry with nature's recipe book. It's not easy, because life uses only a subset of the elements in the periodic table. And we use all of them, even the toxic ones.

Water is at the center of every chemical reaction, and therefore should be the earth's most precious gift.

I have a very non-existent, dysfunctional relationship with my biological mother.

The same biological clock ticks away in humans and fruit flies, which underscores the importance of circadian timing to life on this planet.

An ultimate joint challenge for the biological and the computational sciences is the understanding of the mechanisms of the human brain, and its relationship with the human mind.

The biological task of science is to provide the fully developed human individual with as perfect a means of orientating himself as possible. No other scientific ideal can be realised, and any other must be meaningless.
