Science Quotes by Herman Skolnik (1 quote)
Science and engineering students presumably are left to learn about their literature in the same way they learn about sex.
— Herman Skolnik
'Learning for Life', Journal of Chemical Information and Computer Sciences (1981), 21 (4), 2A.
At the heart of science is an essential balance between two seemingly contradictory attitudes--an openness to new ideas, no matter how bizarre or counterintuitive they may be, and the most ruthless skeptical scrutiny of all ideas, old and new. This is how deep truths are winnowed from deep nonsense. -- Carl Sagan
