I became fascinated by the then-blossoming science of molecular biology when, in my senior year, I happened to read the papers by Francois Jacob and Jacques Monod on the operon theory.

I decided to pursue graduate study in molecular biology and was accepted by Professor Itaru Watanabe's laboratory at the Institute for Virus Research at the University of Kyoto, one of a few laboratories in Japan where U.S.-trained molecular biologists were actively engaged in research.

It's very fulfilling. Who wouldn't want to go out their senior year at the Kohl Center? The last two years, we got beat on buzzer beaters in the tournament. To finally make it is great. I couldn't ask for anything better.

It's something that we have never experienced before, and [during senior year] you try to fit everything in before you leave.

I took acting classes in my senior year in college and I loved it.

I didn't get drafted my senior year, ... I got offered a contract by the Brewers for $1,500 from Sal Bando. I decided to go to college instead, and it worked out pretty well.
