“The point is this: like people, ideas need a social life. Introduce them to your friends. Help them develop good contacts. It’s worth it: more than any accolade or discovery, you get the pleasure of hanging out with ideas and with friends.”
A comment by Erez Lieberman-Aiden on an article about him and his research and life. A very interesting and inspiring profile of Erez and his wife, Aviva. Erez is playful, disregards organizational and academic boundaries, and had incredible drive. He’s already done so much and I wouldn’t be surprised as to what he comes up with or ends up doing over his next 3 decades. This article is a must-read.
