My interest in the sciences started with mathematics in the very beginning, and later with chemistry in early high school and the proverbial home chemistry set.

My education at Baron Byng High School was excellent, with dedicated masters (boys and girls were separate).

During my McGill years, I took a number of math courses, more than other students in chemistry.

Life would be indeed easier if the experimentalists would only pause for a little while!

Growing up, mostly in Montreal, I was an only child of loving parents.

I have always loved going to school.

After a subsequent interview at Brooklyn Poly, I was hired, and life as a fully independent researcher began.
