Nobel Advice

Are you a Nobel aspirant, young researcher, or want to be part of good science? Here is an advice from Prof. Avram Hershko ( Winner of 2004 Nobel Prize -for the discovery of ubiquitin-mediated protein degradation)

Here is a lesson from his life in science that he presented at the Lindau Nobel Meeting 2013."

• It is very important to have good mentors- you cant learn how to do good science just from reading the literature.
• Find an important subject that is not yet interesting to others the big guys will get there before you! Do not go with the mainstream. 
• Accidental observations may be the most important ones. Grab your Luck. 
• Use whatever experimental approach is needed for your objective. It may not necessarily be the most fashionable (“state-of-the-art”) technology. Of course, biochemistry will always be needed. 
• Science should be a curious driven adventure. You should have a lot of excitement and fun. 
• Never leave bench work, and shall continue to get a lot of excitement and fun.
