I would have liked to have discovered “frustrated” Lewis pairs. If I won the lottery, I would expand my research group and otherwise stay true to my “Swabian” upbringing. My favorite place on earth is the Munich beer gardens on a nice summer day, or maybe a hard-to-reach mountain top. I chose chemistry as a career because my soccer skills were not good enough, and I guess I like to play with fire. So what better than to have fun every day! If I were not a scientist, I would be making tons of money on Wall Street while driving a taxi in Manhattan for fun. The most important thing I learned from my parents is to be modest and enjoy a good glass of wine. My greatest achievement has been passing the physics “Vordiplom” (intermediate diploma). My worst nightmare is a lab accident involving one of my students. If I could go back in time and do any experiment, it would be … I prefer to look to the future. I celebrate success by opening a bottle of champagne when my students graduate. My piece of music is Modest Mussorgski's Pictures at an Exhibition.
