I get curious about new things. My real strength is going into a field that has not been investigated before, and finding new approaches to it.
I've always liked people who know me to like me, because I think I'm quite likeable. But people who make up their minds based on the image in the papers or a voice on a pop record? They're idiots.
The combined results of several people working together is often much more effective than could be that of an individual scientist working alone.
