He always been a inspiration for young student and researchers. I was lucky to interact with him during a scholars interaction in my Home town Kalyani, West Bengal, India..

One can take the stand that "I am going to accept everybody else's innovation in my area by referencing their work, but I would at the same time also keep the search to find my own new thing in the area (that being the main motive for research), very persistently and very patiently".

This is very interesting.

Being a mentor is simple when the student is self-motivated.

I completed reading his book The Gene Machine during March 2021.
Truly one of the most under appreciated scientist of our time

It may not be that there is only an existing problem to solve, but it maybe that a new body of knowledge is discovered when solving the problem and going beyond by continued questioning.
