“From running the experiments myself to designing them to be run by others, the initial steps have always been my favourite. Those moments when a sponsor explains the challenge he/she/they are facing, and together we brainstorm to assemble a solution. Eventually, a ground-breaking idea—a parameter, a test, something—comes to mind, which crystallizes the solution. At that point, we both know that this idea changes everything: it collapses obstacles and opens the path forward. That moment has remained one of my greatest motivators throughout the years.”
