The information you get from social media is not a substitute for academic discipline at all. ”

There's nothing I believe in more strongly than getting young people interested in science and engineering, for a better tomorrow, for all humankind. ”

Science is the key to our future, and if you don't believe in science, then you're holding everybody back. ”

Burning carbon-based substances like oil, gas, and especially coal, produces billions of tons of extra carbon dioxide each year. Methane gas from cows and pigs and other animals on our large farms ends up in the atmosphere as well, trapping more of the sun's energy as heat. ”

I hope climate science becomes the big thing. And then what I want is electrical engineers to solve the world's energy problems, energy distribution problems. I want mechanical engineers to make better transportation systems. I want chemical engineers to develop better solar panels, and so on. ”

Evolution is the fundamental idea in all of life science - in all of biology. ”

Teaching creationism in science class as an alternative to evolution is inappropriate. ”

We talk about the Internet. That comes from science. Weather forecasting. That comes from science. The main idea in all of biology is evolution. To not teach it to our young people is wrong. ”
