What do you consider your greatest achievement?
I consider my greatest achievement to be the birth of my son, though my wife deserves the lion’s share of credit. Second on the list would be my humble contributions to our collective knowledge of biology.

What is your favorite book of all time?
My favorite book of all time would probably be “The Stars My Destination” by Alfred Bester.
