Conserved Quotes

We solved the riddle by finding this really ancient element conserved throughout evolution that acts as a sensing mechanism and tells these fungi when they've changed their environment. - Bruce Klein

We can't look at just the side-to-side movement... but in terms of the combined side-to-side and forward movement, penguins conserved up to 80 percent of the mechanical energy required for walking. This was quite high, because other measurements for humans and other birds have found that they recovered only up to 70 percent of the mechanical energy. - Tim Griffin

We already knew that radiotherapy to a conserved breast substantially reduces the chances of local recurrence of breast cancer, and now we know that it also reduces the long-term chances of dying from the disease. - Sarah Darby

The people of Arkansas, the hunting and fishing community, conserved these woods. - Scott Simon

The fact that spin current is not conserved may be bad news, but the important thing is that we know what is going on. Things may not have gone as predicted, but at least we've expanded our knowledge base in an area that we didn't know much about before. - Joe Orenstein

One argument is that it was conserved to help us lift buses off of pedestrians who just got hit. My belief is that nature conserved the stress mechanism because of its effect on gestation. Natural selection doesn't care about individuals, it just wants poundage and conservation of genes. It found a way to maximize the pounds and the genes. - Ralph Catalano

Knowing the structure of Dicer sets the stage for understanding how Dicer enzymes are involved in other phases of the RNA interference pathway. In human cells, the evidence points to Dicer being part of a larger molecular complex that directs the RNA interference process. The core structure of Dicer has been highly conserved by evolution and could serve as a guide in redesigning the RNA molecules that direct specific gene-silencing pathways. - Jennifer Doudna

It was a convincing performance, I think the good thing about it was that the players saved their legs. We're back in action on Wednesday night and I thought we conserved our energy very well. - Sir Alex Ferguson
