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?
That's interesting because you're not focused on one problem.
It's like you're focused on all the problems, finding a solution for all the problems.
Do you think forever chemicals will be kind of like a killer app for designer enzymes?
If you were starting fresh today, would you be working in the same field, or what problem would you tackle?
I'm going to ask you one last question, and it's like a big, thinky, philosophical one.
What's the purpose of science?
Dr. Frances Arnold is the Linus Pauling Professor of Chemical Engineering, Bioengineering, and Biochemistry at the California Institute of Technology and the winner of the 2018 Nobel Prize in Chemistry.
Frances, thank you so much for talking with me today.
Thank you for having me.
It was really a pleasure.
