Science is a collaborative effort, and I have been very fortunate to work with many talented colleagues.

The most important thing is to never give up, even when faced with difficulties.

The world is full of wonders, and it is up to us to explore them.

I have always been grateful for the opportunities that I have had, and I have tried to make the most of them.

The most important thing is to be true to yourself and to your values.
