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

The single biggest threat to man's continued dominance on the planet is the virus.

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.

I get curious about new things. My real strength is going into a field that has not been investigated before, and finding new approaches to it.

I have many shortcomings. I feel very lucky to have been able to have what I've had.

My ambitions were already very clearly fixed by the time I was 6 or 7.

I was a bad practicing physician because I was never sure of the diagnosis or of the treatment.
