Using e-mail, I can communicate with scientists all over the world.

I've taken a philosophical position on e-mail. Although I think it's a wonderful communication technology, and it has a lot of good uses, it is abused quite a lot.

I'm not very technically minded. I mean, I don't know how to do e-mail on computers.

I don't even have a computer in my office. If I had e-mail, I'd never take the time to read research or absorb information. I want to think about what I'm doing, and that takes time.

I like to look for patterns in science and life. It's what I do.

People are saying I don't need science, I have everything, but everything is based on science.

You should only go into science if you really have a yearning to make scientific discoveries.

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'm a complete technophobe. I can't even email.
