Welcome

I also think it is important to be bold, to tackle difficult problems, especially those that appear initially to be messy and unstructured. One should not be afraid to try new things, such as moving from one field to another or working at the boundaries of different disciplines, for it is at the borders that some of the most interesting problems reside. Working scientists are constantly learning new things and are not inhibited from moving into a new area because it is unfamiliar. They follow their interests instinctively and teach themselves the necessary science as they go along. Nothing is more stimulating for self-education than working in a new area.
