"He mea nui te pūtaiao mō te manapori", e ai ki a Paul Nurse, kaiwhiwhi o te Tohu Nobel 2001 i te ahupūngao, i te rongoā rānei. I kī ia kei te kaha haere te pūtaiao ki te awe i te hapori, ā, ko te tikanga o tēnei, "me whakaputa e tātou ngā rōpū manapori me ngā huarahi mahi e taea ai te whakauru me te whakauru i ngā uaua o te pūtaiao". I kī a Feringa ko ngā āhuatanga matua o te manapori "he herekore, he pātai, he whakawātea. A koinei tonu te mahi a te pūtaiao".
