"...Congress has not stepped forward and dealt with this. The EPA has made it clear that they want to sweep this under the rug and don’t want to step forward and do the proper thing. And certainly the corporations are not going to voluntarily say, ‘Gee, we were just doing the wrong thing and we’re going to be better and we’re going to take this off the market voluntarily.’ That’s not going to happen!
So, what is going to change the system? Well, I think the only thing that is going to change the system is intense public pressure. The public needs to understand how poorly their interests are being served. They need to demand that things be done properly..."

"Teeth and bone are important and complex structures in humans and other animals, but little is actually known about their chemical structure at the atomic scale. What exactly gives them their renowned toughness, hardness and strength? How do organisms control the synthesis of these advanced functional composites?"

We do not want merely to see beauty, though, God knows, even that is bounty enough. We want something else which can hardly be put into words--to be united with the beauty we see, to pass into it, to receive it into ourselves, to bathe in it, to become part of it. – C.S. Lewis.

"In my work this romantic ideal of union with the natural world conflicts with our contemporary impact on the environment.
