      I’ve given up on that one! I’m just pleased to get the next grant

      No, I don’t think I do anything nearly useful enough! Not to mention good enough!

      I do like seeing who wins every year though. Often the winner says something like “At first I assumed it was a prank!” which always makes me wonder, does anyone play that kind of a prank?
      And then I get an urge to phone all my colleagues in a fake Swedish accent to see who’d fall for it.

      Oh of course I do! That would be amazing, and you get a fair bit of money, too 😉

      Only the super-best scientists who have discovered the most important and exciting things get a nobel prize – I’m not being modest when I say that I don’t think I’ll EVER be THAT good!!

      no, my ambitions as a scientist are humble. I don’t think I will.
