You have no time to do the science if you're talking to the media.

Summary

This quote suggests that engaging with the media can be a significant distraction from engaging in scientific work. It implies that when scientists are busy with media-related activities like interviews, public appearances, or addressing press inquiries, they have limited time and attention available for conducting scientific research. Therefore, the quote may argue for the importance of maintaining a balance between public engagement and dedicated scientific work to ensure that enough time and focus are allocated to advancing scientific knowledge.

The moral authority of our most cherished institutions comes

The moral authority of our most cherished institutions comes from their voluntary nature: the value of advice from a priest, a teacher or a loved one depends in large part on the fact that we are free to ignore it. But judges' pieces of 'advice' are court orders, enforceable ultimately by the raw physical power of imprisonment. It is precisely because of the awesomely enforceable nature of our powers that we must be so circumspect in exercising them. It is one thing for a co-worker, family member, doctor, or clergyman to confront someone about a perceived drug problem; it is quite another thing for a judge to compel drug treatment. Drug courts not only fail to recognize this important institutional distinction, but their very purpose is to obliterate it.
