Stem Quotes

“I want to tell her that she's luminous, she's so bright in my mind, sometimes I can't focus.”
― Ali Hazelwood, Love on the Brain

“You're going to see a lot of it. People getting ahead unfairly because of the category into which they were born: male or white or straight or rich. I'm in a few of those categories myself, which is why I make it a point to reach out and help those who aren't, those who might not necessarily be seen if I didn't make the effort. We need to shake this field up, you know? We need more people with different points of view and experiences and thought processes so we can keep innovating and moving ahead.”
― Sandhya Menon, When Dimple Met Rishi

“If you cannot solve the proposed problem...try to solve first some related problem.”
― George Pólya, How to Solve It: A New Aspect of Mathematical Method

“Xuan being there didn’t make any sense. This wasn’t a fairy tale. Handsome boys don’t just magically appear screaming your name the moment you need them.”
― Kayla Cunningham

“You see this scrawny, stunted, unmuscled body? It’s built to live in parasitic symbiosis with a couch. It resists training with the force of many million ohms.”
― Ali Hazelwood

“Vegan donuts are for vegans, you absolute walnut.”
― Ali Hazelwood, Love on the Brain

“Everyone expected me to fall apart after our breakup. Instead I just felt empty. I honestly couldn’t stand their pity. So I came here to get away—and heal.”
“I bet you’re really angry with him. You guys were together for a long time.”
“I was. But the more I think about it and analyze it, it seems like something bigger—like a phantom dark energy was repelling us, like bug spray. I don’t think we were ever meant to be together, and the acceleration of the Big Rip just in- creased over time. I think it was bound to happen eventually, I just wish it didn’t end the way it did.”
“That sounds an awful lot like Fate.”
“No,” I said matter-of-factly. “It’s just science.”
― Kayla Cunningham, Fated to Love You

“In that instant, I even forgot my own name, until I heard it being whispered from his lips.

“Cassie,” he said, pulling away.

I wanted this—dreamed of it, but now that it was happen- ing, I didn’t know how I’d ever want anything else. I wanted more. I wanted him. As he held my gaze, I realized that I had never felt more alive. And I knew, deep down, that this was only the beginning of our journey together.”
― Kayla Cunningham, Fated to Love You

“As I pondered the dynamics of love, Newton’s laws and equations came to mind. It was an unusual connection, but suddenly the concept of love made sense through the lens of physics.
It occurred to me that when two people connect, their interactions are subject to the same fundamental laws that govern physical objects. For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction, as described by Newton’s Third Law of Motion. This was the basis of physics, and human behavior seemed to follow the same pattern. If one person makes a choice, the other will respond with an equal and opposite reaction.”
― Kayla Cunningham, Fated to Love You

“(Academic men tend to harbor many delusions-- except for Pierre Curie, of course. Pierre would never.)”
― Ali Hazelwood

“He is just a boy, standing in front of a girl, asking her to do twice as much work as he ever did in order to prove that she’s worthy of becoming a scientist.”
― Ali Hazelwood, Love on the Brain

“That you should like whoever the dick in your mouth belongs to.”
― Emi Leon, Hypothesis for Love

“What can I say about my first real relationship, the one I had with Raylan Thompson? That he was charming, and easy on the eyes... a brave military man like my father. However, if I was being honest with myself, he wasn’t my Pierre Curie or Frederic Joliot. I never felt the way the songs say you’re supposed to feel if you love someone. Sure, I really liked him, but I always knew I could live without him. Our relationship was unstable, like radioactive decay, or boron- 7—a substance that didn’t last, as though it had never been there at all.”
― Kayla Cunningham, Fated to Love You

“My name is Cassandra Temperance Steel, I said to the beauti- ful imaginary Death Angel, as if my name wasn’t already on her Santa Claus-like list of souls to collect that evening. Spare me.
Then my world went dark.
The last thing I remembered before oblivion claimed me was that I was not alone in the car. There was somebody in- side the vehicle with me in the passenger side seat... and that person was going to die because of me.”
― Kayla Cunningham

“Sometimes when I look back and analyze my past, I think the catalyst behind this story was my passion for science. I remember looking at seaweed and pond water microorganisms under a microscope during my Physical Science class my freshman year in high school and I felt exhilarated. My curiosity was awoken and I found myself instantly in love with the subject. Then, during my sophomore year in Biology, I single handedly dissected a cow’s eye and heart while my lab partner—and half the class—were busy passing out or vomiting in the bathroom, and that was it. The road ahead was clear. Set. I knew exactly what I wanted to do with my life.”
― Kayla Cunningham

“I blamed seaweed and pond water microorganisms, a cow’s eyeball, and my teachers, the real culprits, for starting me down this path. Just like accident investigators put together a timeline, I call this the causation analysis of my love life.”
― Kayla Cunningham

“To the skeptics, perhaps the events that are to follow were just a coincidence and nothing more than a series of random accidents that led me to where I am today. But to the lovers and poets and dreamers, perhaps you might agree that the story about to unfold is something more. You might even agree that there are times when coincidences are so powerful that they don’t really seem like coincidences anymore. Times when you come across events that seem too strange, or too strong, to be anything other than Fate—a grand design that incorporates everything from the career paths we take, the friends we meet along the way, and the partners we choose to spend our lives with. Times like these make you question that maybe nothing in this world happens by accident. Maybe everything really does happen for a reason, as some prewritten destiny slowly takes shape and shoves you down a path—or in my case, a mountain side.”
― Kayla Cunningham, Fated to Love You

“A few years later, Raylan and I went our separate ways. He joined the military and I started the science program at the university. It was after our breakup that the thread of my life, woven from Fate’s loom, finally started to take shape. And it was because of science that I met him. The one.”
― Kayla Cunningham, Fated to Love You

“After the imposed visions of my parents, I spent my last moments thinking about science—an equation, to be precise: F = mv2/2d. I know it’s not possible to cheat death, but I hoped for a last-minute ingenious MacGyver moment where I could somehow improvise or find my way out of this mess. But it didn’t matter how many scientific equations—or terms like force of impact, kinetic energy, and all three of Newton’s laws of motions—swam through my useless brain at that moment. The chance of me surviving was highly unlikely—less than 5%. And none of the years I spent studying or memorizing scientific facts or mathematical equations would save me now.”
― Kayla Cunningham, Fated to Love You

“One popular trend in education is to emphasize “STEM” subjects to such a degree that science, technology, engineering, and math dominate a child’s school career. There is nothing wrong with those studies, but if a child has no time to read poetry and stories, to experience art and music, to delve into history and learn to appreciate the heritage of the past, we have violated the principle that education is the science of relations. A person wants to know about many things and a child needs broad exposure to all kinds of knowledge, especially in the younger years. That wide exposure lays a good foundation for specializing later--in a STEM subject or anything else.”
― Karen Glass, In Vital Harmony: Charlotte Mason and the Natural Laws of Education

“Subjects such as history have less of that problem solving relationship. Because history is driven by human nature, one cannot merely hypothesize what happened; one must, unfortunately, resort to memorization. To analyze history, one must memorize a fact, but STEM enables students to analyze the logic behind a STEM occurrence or phenomenon throughout. STEM is a subject of problem solving. STEM is problem solving.”
― Lucy Carter, For the Intellect

“I am not a STEM advocate,
I am the STEM humanizer.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Yaralardan Yangın Doğar: Explorers of Night are Emperors of Dawn

“Math is linked in the popular mind with phobia and anxiety. You’d think we were discussing spiders.”
― Steven Strogatz

“The world needs more women in STEM”
“That’s true. But that means making sure they have opportunities and encouraging the ones who want to pursue those careers, not forcing women into the field to make other people happy.”
― Becky Dean, Picture Perfect Boyfriend

“Just because coding was based in logical cause and effect didn't mean there was only ever one way to do something. In fact, there was almost always more than one way to arrive at a solution.”
― Joy McCullough, A Field Guide to Getting Lost

“Before, even two weeks ago, if Henry had said these things to me, my mouth would've gone dry, my stomach would've clenched, and I would've broken out in a cold sweat. But now... I understand. I understand him. He's not trying to control me or change me or anglerfish me. He's just... telling me he knows me.”
― sarah ready, Switched

“Their synchrotron, a super-powerful x-ray machine, can harness the radiation of überfast subatomic particles in order to -- among many other things -- look inside solid objects. It's spectacular science, but sometimes I prefer not to think about all that energy and chaos around my precious findings.”
― Lee Berger, Cave of Bones: A True Story of Discovery, Adventure, and Human Origins

“Protein is more stable than DNA over time, and so this new technology offers a fresh way to study fossils.”
― Lee Berger, Cave of Bones: A True Story of Discovery, Adventure, and Human Origins
