"When times are hard, do something. If it works, do it some more. If it does not work, do something else. But keep going.” - Audre Lorde "Science is always shaped by the time and the place it is carried out in. And ultimately it is at the mercy of the personal political beliefs of those carrying it out...Scientists are socialized human beings who live within society, and their ideas are social constructions." - Angela Saini
