Frances Arnold
American Scientist
My whole interest is, how do you use evolution as an innovation engine? How does evolution solve new problems that life faces? And to have a system that can create a whole new chemical bond that biology hasn't done before, to me, demonstrates the power of nature to innovate.
Quote examples
Hussein Chalayan
Cypriot Designer
I was drawn to biology and history and, of course, art. And I loved languages. The biggest problem I had is that I wasn't taught about the connections between all these things. I think that would have given life a lot more meaning and it would be a lot more enjoyable.
Quote examples
Khaled Hosseini
Afghani Novelist
I entered the literary world, really, from outside. My entire background has been in sciences; I was a biology major in college, then went to medical school. I've never had any formal training in writing.

Eric Kandel
American Scientist
The biology of mind bridges the sciences - concerned with the natural world - and the humanities - concerned with the meaning of human experience.
