"The RNA world is a hypothesis that suggests an early stage of life on Earth where RNA molecules performed the dual functions of storing genetic information and catalyzing chemical reactions."

"Life did not take over the globe by combat, but by networking."

"Microorganisms are the most successful form of life on Earth, having been here the longest and in the greatest numbers."

"Bacteria are not primitive ancestors of eukaryotes; rather, they represent a successful evolutionary strategy distinct from our own."

"Science helps us understand the world."

"I've witnessed the birth of science, and it continues to amaze me."

"I'm something of a scientist myself."

"The fusion process is self-sustaining now!"
