You said that in a way like, no, thank you.
I want to know what you were like as a kid.
Give me a sense of young Frances.
How did that go over with your family?
Isn't there a part of the brain that expands for taxi drivers because they keep these mental maps in their head?
I read that you had to hide your hair under your hat because people didn't want a woman driver.
Yeah.
I mean, you talk about your rebellious streak.
And I think, you know, many really successful scientists I've spoken with have that characteristic.
Do you think that's necessary for making a paradigm shifting discovery?
Is there a moment from your childhood that was predictive of your career in science?
I mean, you've done so many things.
You know, I want to talk a little.
I know you're interested in in the humanities, too.
I have to ask, how many languages do you speak?
That's a lot.
