## Caption

I was an undergrad when he spoke at my college. It was a very inspirational talk, as his family narrowly survived WWII and almost was not reunited with his mother. They immigrated to the US. He earned a PHD from #harvarduniversity in biophysics and worked in the lab of the Notorious James Watson. He was pretty frank about how he really hated the publish/perish culture at Harvard and was deeply unhappy. He packed up moved to the University of Utah and did his #nobelprize winning work creating a knockout mouse that could be used for genetic research. 

Lesson: go where you are wanted and happy
