I have come to the conclusion that I love doing research. You leave me in my lab and I can stay there for hours, playing with things without noticing that I haven’t seen the day light for hours (which by the way, you don’t miss much if you live in Paris). But, at the same [...]

My motto is: If there is an occasion to be happy, go for it. This year I geared up and went to Portugal for few days. This is becoming a ritual now. Three years ago I went to New Orleans, last year I went to Italy, and I have to think about my next year’s [...]
