I like learning new stuff, also, and I can sit there and watch shows on National Geographic and the Discovery Channel or stuff like that and learn something new. I think once you've gone through such a long stage of learning one thing, you're not as well-rounded as you'd like to be.
Networked science has the potential to speed up dramatically the rate of discovery across all of science.
Getting sequestered and not really knowing what to do with your time and then discovering, 'Oh, I can watch a bunch of horror movies' has probably played out in a lot of people's discovery of horror.

So much of memory comes from the beginning of our lives when we know the world for the first time with a kind of clarity.

At the end of the '90s, I was very bored with the usual models, so I discovered a new generation that impressed me with their fresh look.

With the discovery of the Higgs boson, one of the questions has been ticked off the list, but there are many others. We hope that we can find answers or hints for answers to at least some of them. But of course, this is in the hands of nature.

For me, the discovery of aquaporins was like a gift after 25 years in basic science.
