 Science Quotes
Science is nothing but trained and organized common sense differing from the latter only as a veteran may differ from a raw recruit: and its methods differ from those of common sense only as far as the guardsman's cut and thrust differ from the manner in which a savage wields his club.
Science is facts; just as houses are made of stone, so is science made of facts; but a pile of stones is not a house, and a collection of facts is not necessarily science.
Experimental science is the queen of sciences and the goal of all speculation.

Although the announcement of Marburger as science advisor was praised,24 there has since evolved a concern that science and politics were not separated when making appointments; that the political views of a candidate were significant in determining their qualifications for a post.
Issues like tobacco ads and generic drug access may not be direct science, but their implication on world health does influence the money science receives for research topics like AIDS which is why appointments like Steiger’s receive such scrutiny.

1) Surface science is an important and well-established branch of materials science involving the study of changes in material properties near a surface or interface.
For instance, SPs are being explored for their potential in optics, magneto-optic data storage, microscopy, and solar cells, as well as being used to construct sensors for detecting biologically interesting molecules.
SPs are waves that propagate along the surface of a conductor, usually a metal, and are essentially light waves that are trapped on the surface because of their interaction with the free electrons of the conductor (strictly speaking, they should be called surface plasmon polaritons to reflect this hybrid nature(2)).

 The maternal dominance hypothesis: questioning Trivers and Willard by Valerie J. Grant   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Abstract: Thirty years ago, Trivers and Willard (1973) hypothesized that parental "condition" could be central in influencing the sex ratio of offspring, "good condition" being associated with the conception of males.
Thirty years ago Science published Trivers and Willard’s paper “Natural selection of parental ability to vary the sex ratio of offspring” (1973).
In it they argued that reproductive success should be enhanced in parents who could manipulate the sex of their offspring according to their condition.

 Apologetics Press - Have Scientists Created Life?: Examining the Miller-Urey Experiment
In the past, the modus operandi was to teach the long-ago-disproved concept of spontaneous generation, hope that no one noticed the question of the actual origin of life had never been answered, and then teach the theory of evolution as if “somehow” the origin of life had been established as a fact.
It is because of this weakness that Stanley L. Miller himself refuses to let the idea of the spontaneous generation of life fade into oblivion.
In the September 19, 2002 issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Dr. Miller and his colleagues described how they obtained bioorganic compounds utilizing carbon monoxide as a component in their model of the atmosphere (see Miyakawa, et al., 2002).

This Fos-GCN4 chimaeric protein is able to bind to the target site in the absence of Jun, and can form DNA-binding heterodimers with GCN4 but not with Jun. These results indicate that the leucine zipper is sufficient to confer dimerization specificity and strongly suggest that Fos contacts DNA directly.

Finally, the statute made it illegal to plant, set, or sow tobacco in England or Ireland.
This last provision added incentives for Chesapeake planters to grow more tobacco for English consumption, which would increase the number of specialty ships needed for an English-American tobacco industry.49 Parliament passed fourteen more Navigation Acts from 1663 to 1688.
A section of Cromwell's Navigation Act had banned such ships from these waterways, but no Acts passed during Charles II reign had restored that prohibi- tion.55 When a depression struck the shipbuilding industry in the 1680s, James' Navigation Act removed all non-English ships from inland waters.
