- My father was a mediaeval historian, and I grew up in Oxford...
- I was born in 1943. Sugar was rationed for the first 10 years of my life. No surprise, then, that I was prejudiced in favour of the USA by the kind gifts of chocolates at Christmas from American friends of my parents. I was eager to explore the New World, and the chance came while I was a graduate student in my second year; I went and worked at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in the Bronx for about four months. It was a marvellous experience, and I returned home with lots of fresh ideas.
- By contrast, American views of Europe - the Old World — are apt to emphasise the traditional backward-looking, perhaps even corrupt, class-ridden and decadent life of lascivious ease. No doubt there are corners where this may have a residue of truth, but for the most part you will find a fine and productive science and technology base as well as a thriving cultural environment.
- Here’s the Airbus assembly plant in Toulouse and one of the Mercedes factories in Germany
- And at CERN in Geneva, the massive Large Hadron Collider, a triumph of pure science and applied engineering.
- ...so I went to Cambridge to learn how to become a proper scientist, a biochemist.
- I used to walk to work via this short-cut through the old Cavendish Laboratory
- And sometimes depressed, sometimes inspired at the thought of the great discoveries that had been made in these very buildings
