We've established a Washington State Academy of Sciences that will enable us to make decisions based on science about what is right for our state meaning the quality of our lives will get better.

In my family as in most middle-class Indian families I knew when I was growing up science and mathematics were held in awe.

All the mathematical sciences are founded on relations between physical laws and laws of numbers so that the aim of exact science is to reduce the problems of nature to the determination of quantities by operations with numbers.

I started in this racket in the early '70s and when I was president of the Science Fiction Writers of America of which I was like the sixth president I was the first one nobody ever heard of.

It may be far in the future but there's some kind of logical way to get from where we are to where the science fiction is.

We do a hard fantasy as well as hard science fiction and I think I probably single-handedly recreated military science fiction. It was dead before I started working in it.

My personal feeling about science fiction is that it's always in some way connected to the real world to our everyday world.

One of my degrees was a science degree in biology.

I dislike literary jargon and never use it. Criticism has only one function and that is to help readers read and understand literature. It is not a science it is an aid to art.

There are relatively few science fiction or fantasy books with the main character being an old person.
