"Very few recognize science as the high adventure it really is, the wildest of all explorations ever taken by human beings, the chance to glimpse things never seen before, the shrewdest maneuver for discovering how the world works."

"The most solid piece of scientific truth I know of is that we are profoundly ignorant about nature."

"A multitude of bees can tell the time of day, calculate the geometry of the sun's position, argue about the best location for the next swarm. Bees do a lot of close observing of other bees maybe they know what follows stinging and do it anyway."

"It is only when you watch the dense mass of thousands of ants, crowded together around the Hill, blackening the ground, that you begin to see the whole beast, and now you observe it thinking, planning, calculating. It is an intelligence, a kind of live computer, with crawling bits for its wits."

"You can find lots of people like you through technology, and women in particular like communities."

"Technology is teaching us to be human again."

"When we look at machine learning today, we see the beginning of a new era of cognitive automation, ultimately redefining what it means to be human."
