Bendingthe rules

摘要

What led you to chemistry?rnI do not think I was programmed to become a chemist. I wanted to be a tennis player, but I was better at school than on the court! Then, I studied science. I did not like mathematics and physics, and at that time I found biology too empirical, so I chose chemistry.rnWhere do you look for ideas?rnAll along my career, I have tried to demonstrate that some of the rules we learned at school are not totally correct, or at least that we can find tricks to get around them.
