“This is world heritage. I think they don’t realise what it means symbolically. Marie Curie is the most famous woman scientist in the world and is a reference and inspiration. The Curie Institute does not need to destroy these historic buildings. It has space elsewhere.”

"The exhibition could easily have become a one-dimensional — and ahistorical — analysis colored by subjective 21st-century attitudes toward women, throwing out cliches such as “strong” or “empowering.” Instead, curators Ben van Beneden and Amy Orrock diligently examine how the artist’s relationships with women and the female figure, whether familial, romantic, commissioned, or simply through academic study, influenced his practice."

'El biólogo argumenta que el Atlas Celular de la Biodiversidad desvelaría multitud de secretos de la naturaleza. “Tenemos que estar preparados para toparnos con hallazgos inesperados. Nuestro estudio de placozoos no lo hicimos para entender la evolución de las neuronas y el sistema nervioso. Esa motivación naturalista es lo que más me gusta. Somos exploradores”, sostiene.'

"That then, is the simple reason why discovering drugs is hard; because we are dealing with a biological system that still escapes our rational understanding and because we are trying to engineer a molecule that perturbs this incompletely understood system, and that too while being forced to satisfy multiple constraints. It's like being asked to find a black cat in the dark, with the added constraint that one of your feet is bound to the top of your head, and you only get three tries."

'Sem querer falar de “dar esperança”, mas sim de “dar coisas concretas” aos portugueses, Rui Tavares é claro quanto aos seus objectivos: “Queremos ajudar a esquerda a ganhar estas eleições. A esquerda tem de saber defender os serviços públicos e apresentar propostas de futuro. E queremos também evitar que os extremistas cheguem perto do poder.”
