I feel like it has gone very fast for me, but I feel like it wasn't instantaneous, at all. I was getting a lot of rejections. I just got very lucky and it happened quickly for me. I don't feel like I'm a prodigy or something. ↗

Better biofuels are a really big deal. That means we can precisely engineer the molecules in the fuel chain and optimize them along the way.

I just change with the times. I really don't have a say in what's going on. Music was here before me. ↗
