The satisfaction of new and unexpected, sometimes serendipitous solutions for open questions raised by own original and consistent lines of research.How have mentors contributed to your professional development?My mentor Prof Weber maintained the infrastructure and prepared the political grounds, which enabled my return to a Chair as his successor in Munich.If you knew then what you know now, would you do anything different?No.What wisdom do you impart on new investigators?Science is a very social endeavor and involves close personal ties and commitment, so carefully select your coworkers and mentors.
