I started on the use of the Internet for scientific communication. Our research group was one of the very first to make really systematic use of it as a way of managing research projects.

I did get a very fine education, and not just in science. It took some pressure on the part of my elders to convince me that I really should take an interest in humanities.

If it takes you 20 or 25 years to establish yourself in one field, you really ought to be careful not to stray too far.

I got my Nobel Prize for my lab work.

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

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

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