      As a kid, I was inspired by Luther Burbank, a horticulturist who cross-bred plants and created new varieties of fruits and vegetables.

      I like Henri Poincare, he made many mathematical discoveries about the shapes of objects. He only worked 4 hours a day at his desk to do this, and spent quite a lot of time thinking about problems while walking around, or letting his subconscious work for him.
