I've always been on the side of science that tries to help man. I play an active part with the foundations I'm involved in. Science gives hope.

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

It's very satisfying to promote science and education and see good results. Setting a good example for young people, being a role model, is very important for me.

My successes already accomplished have mostly been taking existing science and getting people to apply it in their everyday lives.

Most great advances have been a collaboration. That is the joy of science for me.

Science has always been my preoccupation and when you think a breakthrough is possible, it is terribly exciting.

For me it's been very exciting to contribute to the public's understanding of how rich and wondrous science is.

I believe scientists have a duty to share the excitement and pleasure of their work with the general public, and I enjoy the challenge of presenting difficult ideas in an understandable way.

I have an idealistic view of science as a liberalising and progressive force for humanity.

Science is very vibrant. There are always new observations to be found. And it's all in the interest in challenging the authority that came before you. That's consistent with the punk rock ethos that suggests that you should not take what people say at face value.
