I think that passion for your work is the most important ingredient to being successful.
I have worked on many projects since I came to ORNL. Usually, I start a project to establish a protocol for protein expression and purification, and then a postdoc or graduate student will take over for further study. I always feel very happy when a project works. I like to help users and researchers with my lab experience and knowledge."
