I have always loved going to school.

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

After some minor pieces of theoretical study that I worked on, a student in my statistical mechanics class brought to my attention a problem in polyelectrolytes.

I have always loved going to school.

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

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

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.
