I really didn't like the academic structure of science, but I realized I loved science and missed science.

I missed the basic curiosity of being in the lab.

Science goes through fads, and there are big ups and crashes.

I don't like saying 'no' to people, and I'm going to have to learn how to say 'no' more.

It's nice to be able to look at one protein, but life is driven by the interactions between proteins, so it's really essential to be able to see multiple proteins at a time to understand these interactions.

Like you can't have a car that can take the kids to schools on Friday and win the grand prix on Saturday, you can't make a microscope that can do it all.
