You tell me there’s a deadline in two months, and I’m on it the day you tell me. [laughs] I’ve always tried to remove this time pressure by attacking problems right away. You might give this idea to some of our readers – maybe some of them are not as good as you are at doing this. I think it’s just a temperament thing. Some people, as soon as they send their paper, say, ‘When is the next deadline?’ Yeah, exactly. Of all the things your teachers have taught you, could you pick one thing to tell our readers about? I can think back to my job at the Broad Institute, where it’s not so much teaching but more in the context of industry and culture. Actually, it’s a lab, so it’s the culture of the lab. There, they really made an effort to make sure everybody was welcomed. It just felt like a place where you see the value in each person, and you set an environment where a person can grow and be themselves. They were really good at handling conflict and making sure that it was safe for everybody and that the best work could be produced at the end of the day for science, without any competition or toxicity in the lab. They really set a great example at getting to that culture. So that’s something that I want to take with me. If one day I’m leading a lab or in some kind of leadership position, I really want to make sure that I establish a good culture for the people I’m responsible for.
