We must develop as quickly as possible technologies that make possible a direct connection between brain and computer, so that artificial brains contribute to human intelligence rather than opposing it.

My goal is simple. It is a complete understanding of the universe, why it is as it is and why it exists at all.

I think the discovery of supersymmetric partners for the known particles would revolutionize our understanding of the universe.

Scientists use satellites to track weather, map ice sheet melting, detect diseases, show ecosystem change... the list goes on and on. I think nearly every scientific field benefits or could benefit from satellite imagery analysis.

My undergraduate, I double-majored in biology and chemistry. Biology was kind of my love.
