24 Oct 2011 - Interview with Prof. Dr. Dr. Ivan Dikic, director of the Frankfurt Institute of Molecular Life Sciences (FMLS)
If you were granted one wish for the advancement of your research projects, what would this be?
Well, I've always valued and emphasized a creative atmosphere. It not only means being surrounded by intelligent people, but also having enough time
to think.
Not having countless administrative duties, committees, applying for funding, etc. Scientists need time to develop brilliant ideas that help address issues we normally would not have time to consider. So my wish would be that we scientists do not have to waste too much valuable time on administrative issues, but can dedicate ourselves to conducting research.
