Description: with this chemical language. But we started to think that maybe there is something practical that we can do here as well. I've told you that bacteria have all these social behaviors, that they communicate with these molecules. Of course, I've also told you that one of the important things they do is to initiate pathogenicity using quorum sensing.

Richard Engel

Insurgencies are easy to make and hard to stop. Only a few ingredients need to combine to create an insurgency; like oxygen and fire, they're very common and mix all too often. The recipe is, simply, a legitimate grievance against a state, a state that refuses to compromise, a quorum of angry people, and access to weapons.

American Journalist

We've all been sick; we're all afraid of infection. I think the easiest application to help people understand what quorum sensing is and why it's important to study is to tell them that if we could make the bacteria either deaf or mute, we could create new antibiotics.

American Scientist

Allan Gurganus

Collections collect collectors. It doesn't work the other way around. A certain object misses its own kind and communicates that to some person who surrounds it with rhyming items; these become at first a quorum, then a selective, addictive madness.

American Novelist

James E. Faust

If we look upon fulfilling of assignments as building the kingdom of God and as being an opportunity as well as a privilege and an honor, then assignments and challenges should certainly be given to every member of the quorum.

American Clergyman

Joseph B. Wirthlin

Priesthood lessons are regularly devoted to topics of family leadership, and quorum leaders everywhere are feeling more and more their responsibility to teach and train their quorum members to be better husbands and fathers.

American Businessman

I think the easiest application to help people understand what quorum sensing is and why it's important to study is to tell them that if we could make the bacteria either deaf or mute, we could create new antibiotics.

Clint Eastwood

Let's put it this way: there wouldn't be much point in me attending a high-school reunion now because there wouldn't be anybody there. We'd struggle to raise a quorum.

American Actor

Understand quorum as a specific number, not just any attendance.

Numerical Importance

A meeting without a quorum can still occur but can't make binding decisions.

Meeting Validity

Quorum size changes with the group's rules; it's not always a majority.

Varies by Group

Quorum often has the authority to make significant decisions within an organization.

Authority to Decide

A quorum is required by law or organization's charters, not optional.

Legally Bounded

Quorum ensures decisions are made by a representative segment, not just a few.
