Do you feel like your life could have gone in many different directions?
Let's fast forward to your career in science.
So you work at the intersection of biology and chemistry and engineering.
Did you have to carve that niche out?
It's timing, but it's also you saw the opportunity.
Well, I mean, I wonder if that's sort of key to success.
You know, you were often out front as one of the few women working in your institution or your department.
You are one of eight women to win the Nobel Prize in chemistry.
Going back to your taxi days, did you ever feel like you needed to hide your hair under your hat in your scientific career?
That's really interesting to me.
I mean, partly just also in the way you think about the power of language, right?
Like, I think scientists are often very careful in the way that they talk.
Not a lot of metaphors.
Yes, a lot of caveats.
Well, let's talk about the next chapter of your work and of this field.
You know, I heard from a biologist recently that the 21st century, he said, it's going to be biology's moment.
Like this is biology's moment to sort of join the grown up table of science where it's typically been physics and mathematics and chemistry.
And I know that you're working at the intersection.
But do you agree with that sentiment?
What are some of the problems that you're working on right now?
