Exercise

Exercise is any bodily activity that enhances or maintains physical fitness and overall health and wellness. It is performed for various reasons, including increasing growth and development, preventing aging, strengthening muscles and the cardiovascular system, honing athletic skills, weight loss or maintenance, and also for enjoyment. Many individuals choose to exercise publicly outdoors where they can congregate in groups, socialize, and enhance well-being.

Science

Science (from Latin scientia, meaning "knowledge") is a systematic enterprise that builds and organizes knowledge in the form of testable explanations and predictions about the universe.

Wikipedia

Science

We’ve arranged a global civilization in which most critical elements profoundly depend on science and technology. We have also arranged things so that almost no one understands science and technology. This is a prescription for disaster. We might get away with it for a while, but sooner or later this combustible mixture of ignorance and power is going to blow up in our faces.

Sir Ernest Rutherford from The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark (1996), 26.

I get my exercise running to the funerals of my friends who exercise.

Barry Gray, New York magazine (May 19, 1980).

Exercise

Better to hunt in fields, for health unbought,
Than fee the doctor for a nauseous draught.
The wise, for cure, on exercise depend;
God never made his work for man to mend.

John Dryden, Epistle to John Driden of Chesterton, line 92-95 (1700).

Climate policy knowledge for well-informed decision-making

An EU project aims to support policy and decision makers in taking well-informed decisions, by facilitating understanding of the consequences of different policies and climate regimes, thereby reducing uncertainties and enhancing their insights. Work to date involved identification of knowledge needs and their consequent addressing by collecting and synthesising knowledge.
