I try to look deeper. Everything is like under a microscope: at first it seems there is nothing, but once you focus — a structure, meaning, and solution appear.

In my field, I value hope. When you see life sprouting where it once seemed nothing would grow.

I either do my work with quality, or I don’t do it at all.

Lack of resources or unexpected obstacles most often drive us to invent something truly new.

I believe that other people are just as passionate about science as I am.

Sincerity, like scientific truth, needs no embellishment. It either exists, or it doesn’t.
