      When I was looking for a post-doctoral position early in my career, I turned down a position with a scientist who had just won the Nobel Prize for Chemistry… He wrote back and wished me well! I met him many years later at a conference and he remembered the incident and said I’d done well!

      I have met two Nobel Prize winners (Chemistry) including Prof.. Barry Sharpless who is one of very few double prize winners. I also met Sir Patrick Vallance pre-COVID
