That is a short interview with me from Northern Virginia magazine<\/a>, here is one excerpt:<\/p>\n

When did you feel you had \u201cmade it\u201d?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Jan. 21, 1962 (his birthday). That was a turning point of sorts for me.<\/p>\n

How do you define success?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Learning something new all the time, and staying healthy. Getting paid. Interacting with smart people. Having the chance to pass something along to others.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And:<\/p>\n

What do you do after a disappointment?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bid higher next time.<\/p>\n

Give us an idea of your work\/life balance philosophy.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Do I even try to do balance? For me they are more or less the same. I know that makes me difficult. But I\u2019ve ended up writing about what were once hobbies, and using so-called \u201cleisure\u201d time to prepare for research, writing, speaking and so on. My social life is pretty closely tied to my work life.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And at the end:<\/p>\n

Any advice for those who are going into your field?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Listen also to the advice of people who are not in your field. A lot of budding academics listen too much to their advisor and don\u2019t receive enough feedback and mentoring from a broader set of sources.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
