One can describe scientific change as a struggle between selfish memes, but one can also describe just the same process in terms of scientists choosing to accept, or to reject, theories by reference to familiar criteria of explanatory power, theoretical elegance and so forth.
Specifying that a quarter of the REC should comprise community members (as opposed to 1 or 2 members) prevents the intimidation that community members often experience in an REC that is top heavy in terms of scientists or clinicians and obviates the power differentials that would prevent adequate and fair participation of community members [ 27].
Building machines capable of human-like intelligence is a very long-term project that requires teams of scientists working for many years.
The value of the land in terms of research, scientists say, is impossible to measure.
"Not only is regenerative medicine a fast-growing market," notes Joydeep Goswami, vice president of primary and stem cell systems at Invitrogen in Carlsbad, California, "but the possibilities are really endless in terms of what scientists can achieve and what they can do with their work.
Which would all be fine and even largely good in terms of depicting scientists positively, if it weren't that this is a two-way process and we've begun to accept fantasy elements as being facts about Turing's life.
Alvin Toeffler has written about this in terms of some scientists in their laboratories trying to devise certain types of pathogens that would be ethnic specific so that they could just eliminate certain ethnic groups and races; and others are designing some sort of engineering, some sort of insects that can destroy specific crops.
The seeking of room temperature ferromagnetic semiconductors, which take advantages of both the charge and spin degrees of freedom of electrons to realize a variety of functionalities in devices integrated with electronic, optical, and magnetic storage properties, has been a long-term goal of scientists and engineers.
Perhaps a little harsh with the term "inertia of scientists", there may be many reasons that scientists have not embraced eLN in their work, particularly if it is a small laboratory or one strapped for resources other than inertia.
What would the southern state be called: "the United Kingdom of England and Wales," or just "England," or the horrible term of political scientists, "Residual UK," often shortened as "rUK"?
The recognition by EMBO of the importance of China is one small indication that EMBO and presumably scientists everywhere are working in a true international environment in which cooperation and collaboration should prevail for the long-term mutual benefit of scientists in both communities.
