You can always try another approach, even change your subject when a scientific strategy or experiment fails.
~ Ada Yonath
My kindergarten teacher encouraged me to learn, as did my school headmaster, who gave me a grant to study.
I don't walk into the lab in the morning thinking, 'I am a woman, and I will carry out an experiment that will conquer the world.' I am a scientist, not male or female. A scientist.
I don't distinguish between men and women. This is irrelevant to me, and I don't think in these terms.
If one has curiosity, then one stands the chance of attain a high level of scientific inquiry.
My memories from my childhood are centered on my father's medical conditions alongside my constant desire to understand the principles of the nature around me.
After I spent my compulsory army service in the 'top secret office' of the Medical Forces, where I was fortunate to be exposed to clinical and medical issues, I enrolled to the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
