“My whole interest is, how do you use evolution as an innovation engine...” — Frances Arnold Quote

“My whole interest is, how do you use evolution as an innovation engine? How does evolution solve new problems that life faces? And to have a system that can create a whole new chemical bond that biology hasn't done before, to me, demonstrates the power of nature to innovate.”

“Engineering the biological world was even more interesting than engineering the mechanical world.”

“I was the first female cab driver in the city of Pittsburgh.”

“I have this rather amazing report which, roughly speaking, says I was the worst student the biology master had ever taught.”

“I don't find biology as interesting as politics and humanism. I talk more about existential stuff.”

“Biology has at least 50 more interesting years.”
