It was like stepping on to an escalator; I could do anything. I was just made for science.
In the early '90s, we discovered mutations that could double the normal life span of worms.
Life's too short to not be around nice people.
I loved the idea that biology was logical.
The idea that ageing was subject to control was completely unexpected.
Ageing is very exciting. But if I didn't work on ageing, I'd want to work on the brain. There are really cool techniques you can use now. And bioinformatics. The methods you can use for comparing large data sets - that's so powerful.
