Andrew J Woolley, PhD

Great interview with microscopy guru and Nobel Laureate Eric Betzig. (link)

A personal quote about his journey in and out of science:

"I stayed home as a house husband, trying to figure out what to do next. Should I go to med school? Become a gourmet chef? I didn’t have any plan except to stop making microscopes."

And another quote from Eric, about labeling the interdisciplinary field of microscopy:  

"You know, I’m not comfortable with labels. I’m trained in physics but don’t think of myself as a physicist. I have a Nobel Prize in Chemistry, but I certainly don’t know any chemistry. I work all the time with biologists, but any biology I have is skin-deep. If there is one way I characterize myself, it’s as an inventor."

Took a minute to add a few more images and captions to the gallery page.  Fun data!
