My interest in biology was pretty much always on the philosophical side.

I loved the idea that biology was logical.

At the time I finished high school, I was determined to study biology, deeply convinced to eventually be a researcher.

I spent my adult life as a scientist, and science is, essentially, the most successful approach we have to try and understand the vast mysteries around.

Well, I mean, I'm still a scientist, you know. I think once a scientist, always a scientist.

I'm a great believer that scientists should spend as much time as possible explaining, and you do explain in the process of teaching.

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

I'm not just a scientist.

I grew up thinking that a research scientist was a natural thing to be.
