I Am Still A Keen Mountain Walker

I Think It Was This Curiosity About The Natural World Which Awoke My Early Interest In Science.

This Time At Birmingham Turned Me Into A General Biologist, And Ever Since Then I Have Always Tried To Take A Biological Approach To Any Research Project That I Have Undertaken.

I Am Still A Keen Mountain Walker And An Enthusiastic Glider Pilot.

Ever Since Sir Isaac Newton's Times, Scientists Have Worked In The Same Sort Of Way: They Show A Great Respect For Experiment And Observation, They Don't Cherry Pick Data, They Take A Skeptical Approach To What They Do. And Then Scientists Work Together To Get A Consensus As To What Should Be Believed And That Generates Very Reliable Knowledge And That Reliable Knowledge Drives Innovation

It Has Been A Privilege To Pursue Knowledge For Its Own Sake And To See How It Might Help Mankind In More Practical Ways.
