My favorite name reaction is the Belousov–Zhabotinsky reaction. My science “heroes” are Sofia V. Kovalevskaya, Alexander Fleming, Christiaan N. Barnard, Paul Ehrlich, Giordano Bruno, and many more. If I had one year of paid leave I would do some experiments in the lab. If I could be a piece of lab equipment, I would be a magnetic stir bar. The principal aspects of my personality are honesty and fairness. My favorite bands are Depeche Mode, The Cure, and Portishead. When I was eighteen I wanted to be a chemist. The most significant historic event of the past 100 years was space flight. My first experiment was the synthesis of nitrogen triiodide. My biggest inspiration is nature. My favorite times of day are early morning and late evening. My favorite way to spend a holiday is skiing.
