Of course I have other interests, but on the other hand, science is a lifestyle in the sense that it's a combination of profession and hobby.

You do what you like because you just follow your curiosity, and you are happy when you find new things about nature, about how things work around us and inside us.

A lot of people seem to think that data science is just a process of adding up a bunch of data and looking at the results, but that's actually not at all what the process is.

I read science fiction every single day of my life. It's my primary love.

One of the things that always fascinated me about the Renaissance was that it was a time both of great scientific discovery and also of superstition and belief in magic. And so it was a period in which Galileo invented the telescope, but also a time when hundreds were burned at the stake because people thought they were witches.

I have always believed that technology should do the hard work - discovery, organization, communication - so users can do what makes them happiest: living and loving, not messing with annoying computers! That means making our products work together seamlessly.
