When I was in high school, I became interested in cytochemistry: chemical analysis under the microscope, and trying to understand the composition of cells.

Being successful at a very young age gave me the confidence and the capability to try out other things.

I'd like to put in a vote for the intrinsic fascination of science.

The central moral issue of science is that we do not have a science of peace and hardly know where to begin in building one.

Try hard to find out what you're good at and what your passions are, and where the two converge, and build your life around that.

I hope I've lived a life of science whose style will encourage younger people.

Everybody has to learn for the first time.
