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

Although I am a public figure, I'm still a little shy. I don't think my own personality is important. I prefer to keep some small dosage of privacy.

I believe I am a person with unusual talents. I think I'd be a liar or stupid if I were to deny that.

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 certainly saw science as a kind of calling, and one with as much legitimacy as a religious calling.
