108. Our support for excellence must span engineering,

The human sciences will be central to understanding
and advancing human and social well being in this
new milieu.

President, University of Alberta
National Science Day, May 27

109. If it is possible – and it surely is – that the application
of science, technology, and innovation to all the
above challenges can have unanticipated
consequences, some of them negative, is it not to the
social sciences and humanities that we must look to
conduct the ethical, economic, environmental, social,
and legal impact assessments that will forewarn us of
those negative possibilities and enable us to avoid or
mitigate them?
Preston Manning, National Science Day, May 27, 2009

110. The understanding of the human mind - memory,
emotions, and what it means to be human - will be
advanced through collaboration between neuroscience

balanced communities, University of Toronto president
David Naylor told a Toronto business crowd recently.
You can't have them without the social sciences, the
arts and the humanities.
