The Nobel laureate on the joys of entering a developing field, and the century of vision

I was interested in chemistry and asked my mother to buy chemistry books for me. I studied them, and was actually, I think, more knowledgeable than the biology teacher. I asked him questions or corrected him, and he did not like that – he asked me to stay away! That was my chemistry. Of course, I also did some of the usual explosive experiments.
