The Nobel Prize shared a post on X:
“The 2020 chemistry laureate Emmanuelle Charpentier shares her best career advice to the next generation of scientists:
‘The general advice I give is always to listen to oneself. It’s important to listen to oneself and follow the gut feeling, follow the intuition. In research, it is really important to follow what one likes to do. I liked different topics, and it was difficult to choose. But I think what helps a lot is just to enjoy the science and to see what the science can bring. Focus on this and really trigger the trust in oneself, the sense of curiosity about what we like to do, and the joy of science. This is important because it allows you to deal with the rest. So, they have to learn all these aspects, to see that the rest are little steps that may not work perfectly, but that, at the end of the day, make the beauty of this work. We are very privileged to be able to ask questions and work on what we like to work with.’
