My favorite place on Earth is a good French brasserie.
My not-so-secret passion is astrobiology.
If I could have dinner with three famous scientists from history, they would be Linus Pauling, Erwin Schrödinger, and Ludwig Boltzmann.
And I would ask them how they would deal with unfavorable referee reports.
I chose chemistry as a career because I had highly motivating teachers in chemistry and physics.
The most exciting thing about my research is being surrounded by highly motivated students.
The best advice I have ever been given is to search for a niche in science that has not been explored yet.
I can never resist to accept an invitation from good friends.
I celebrate success by clinking glasses at a great meal with friends.
My favorite authors include James Joyce, Kazuo Ishiguro, Haruki Murakami, and Robert Harris.
My top three films of all time are Monsieur Hulot, Star Wars, Lord of the Rings.
What I look for first in a publication is if our work has been cited.
My favorite piece of research is to explore the limits of life.
When I'm frustrated, I grab a good book.
