Isaac's work is the reason I became a scientist. I hope I can pay a fraction of it forward.

Gratitude

My grandmother loved Isaac. When she died we played their work at the funeral. Now they're both gone. Strange how connected it all is.

My dad introduced me to Isaac's work when I was a kid. We talked about it for hours. Today I'm thinking of both of them.
