I don't suppose I'll ever retire completely.

I think British science is becoming more like American science - and then there is everybody else, I'm afraid.

You see, I am a very conventional scientist, really.

It is not necessarily true that expensive experiments are not worthwhile doing but there are plenty of rather cheap experiments which are certainly worth doing.

I am a caricature of what British science is about in the way I work.

It doesn't matter whether you can or cannot achieve high temperature superconductivity or fuel cells, they will always be on the list because if you could achieve them they would be extremely valuable.
