[edit] Dealing with the Media
'What I did say (in a chapter on “Dealing with the Media”) was this: “Highly visible scientists, such as Carl Sagan or Stephen Jay Gould, have attracted criticism from colleagues for their waltzes in the limelight.” (p. 201). My most extensive example of eloquence, meanwhile, is Watson and Crick’s famous 1953 paper on DNA structure.' Science Magazine

[edit] Research and Communication
"I began this book with the truth that research and communication form a continuum. In the end, it is more accurate to say that, in the real world of daily scientific work, they are inseparable. Research involves a number of central activities and communicating is one of them". (Montgomery, S. L., 2003, The Chicago Guide to Communicating Science).
[edit] Use of Books at University
“Teaching art history is a way for me to explore with my students how ideas and art images from the past have shaped and continue to shape our lives today. It is a way for us to experience together the enormous power of art throughout history.” Dr Dan Ewing, Professor of Art History, Barry University - School of Arts and Sciences Department of Fine Arts
