From my earliest days I had a passion for science.

I was interested in science before I even knew what science was.

I think it was this curiosity about the natural world which awoke my early interest in science.

I had then and still retain an interest in science for its own sake and as a metaphor for our current lives.

Also by my earliest days, I was fascinated by a utopian vision of what the world could be like. I've thought that science could be the basis for a better world, and that's what I've been trying to do all these years.

I'm a school teacher, and later on, well past my formal education, I became very interested in science.

Perhaps arising from a fascination with animals, biology seemed the most interesting of sciences to me as a child.

So I decided on science when I was in college.

I fell in love with science and decided to continue for my Ph.D., and from there on, I was a scientist.

As a child, I remember my own intensive interest in biology, birds, other animals and flowers and was determined at an early age to become a scientist.
