      I think scientists doing great research become famous in their field of research. Some of my colleagues say that I am already famous in the field of radiocarbon dating because I improve the method. This is exciting but a but scary too!

      It’s rare that industrial chemists become famous, so in my current role: No, I don’t think I’ll ever be famous. However, maybe if I do move over to Cancer Research!
