"If you are scientifically literate, the world looks very different to you, and that understanding empowers you."

"The universe is not a problem to be solved. It's a mystery to be explored."

"You know, the universe is a pretty big place. If it's just us, seems like an awful waste of space."

"I think the universe is trying to tell us something, and we're just not listening."

"If you are a scientist, you are a scientist. You don't have to be a 'black scientist' or a 'woman scientist.'"
