 Where
do you work?
I am a PhD student at the department of chemistry, University

To broaden my depth of knowledge of industry and research,
and to learn how both areas inter-relate.

I would like to have invented a decent transport system for
London — such as overhead trains along the river Thames.

discussion?
Bruce Lee, as I would have liked to ask him how much of his
time he spent on fitness and how he went about it.
What is your measure of success?
By setting out small goals over periods of time and rewarding
yourself once you accomplish them.
What is your motto in life?
Science without religion is lame; religion without science
is blind — Albert Einstein.
What is your funniest joke?
The Vice President walks into the office and sees the President
whooping and hollering.
‘What is the matter, Mr President?’ the Vice President
inquires.
‘Nothing. I just finished a jigsaw puzzle in record time,’
the President beams.
‘How long did it take you?’
‘Well, the box said “3 to 5 years” - but I
did it in a month!’
