Keeping a relationship with the love of my life, for 16 years.

Giving people enjoyment.

Picking myself back up after very tricky times and trying again.

That I have strong, happy girls.

The world ‘ageing’ itself is an issue: we do not know what it means.

I always chose to surround myself with good people no matter my career. I picked teachers and mentors who promised me a hard life.

I cannot tell you even. I have to ask my son and my wife that were with me in the room because I came to say ”hello,” that I’m leaving. And, I was caught in total surprise. It’s wonderful. What can I tell you? Obviously, it’s wonderful. That’s the climax that every scientist can ever dream of. I will not deny that I am proud for me, for this science, for the state of Israel, for my family, for everybody.

what I'm really worried about and concerned is the lack of the voice of the leadership.

I think that it is necessary to implant in children the love for science from the very beginning, and mostly the love for asking questions about the universe, for example why does the sun rise in the morning? Or what allows life on earth? Why earth is so unique compared to the moon? Or about our own body and evolution: what happened to us?

I abandoned surgery, I abandoned medicine. The only person I consulted was my wife when I said ‘Listen, next month, we’re not going to have a salary. On the contrary, we’re going to take all our savings and waste it on tuition fees.’ That’s it. That’s what I wanted.
