More Engines Quotes

A lawyer’s either a social engineer or … a parasite on society … A social engineer [is] a highly skilled, perceptive, sensitive lawyer who [understands] the Constitution of the United States and [knows] how to explore its uses in the solving of problems of local communities and in bettering conditions of the underprivileged citizens. — Charles Hamilton Houston

The Analytical Engine has no pretensions whatever to originate anything. It can do whatever we know how to order it to perform. — Ada Lovelace

Better biofuels are a really big deal. That means we can precisely engineer the molecules in the fuel chain and optimize them along the way.

What started as a curiosity-driven, fundamental discovery project has now become the breakthrough strategy used by countless researchers working to help improve the human condition. I encourage continued support of fundamental science as well as public discourse about the ethical uses and responsible regulation of CRISPR technology. — Jennifer Doudna

The field of CRISPR-Cas biology and engineering continues to evolve at a rapid pace, with great new developments emerging almost every week. The technology continues to evolve as well, with many new discoveries in basic biological research, with large-scale medical and biotechnology applications to come in the future. — Emmanuelle Charpentier
