I wanted to become a mathematician, physicist or astronomer.

I dropped out of high school four times between the ages of 12 to 17.

Nelson Mandela and Malcolm X came out of prison stronger.

During the week that I arrived in the United States, I saw an airport, used a telephone, used a library, talked with a scientist, and was shown a computer for the first time in my life.

Briefly, to program it requires an absolute understanding of how all 65,536 processors are interconnected.

The Connection Machine was the most powerful supercomputer in the world. It is a complex supercomputer and it will take forever to completely describe how it works.

Because I believe that humans are computers, I conjectured that computers, like people, can have left- and right-handed versions.

Eighty percent of Americans with HIV do not know they are infected.

First, I identify an analogous problem in nature and borrow from it.

The Connection Machines owned by the United States government laboratories were made available to me because they were considered impossible to program and there was no great demand for them at that time.

The hardships that I encountered in the past will help me succeed in the future.

The labs were happy that I was brave enough to attempt to program it and the $5 million computer was left entirely to my use. I was their human guinea pig.

My focus is not on solving nature's deeper mysteries. It is on using nature's deeper mysteries to solve important societal problems.

It is smarter to borrow from nature than to reinvent the wheels.

Because I am not formally trained in the medical sciences, I can bring in new ideas to AIDS research and the cross-fertilization of ideas from different fields could be a valuable contribution to finding the cure for AIDS.

The hardship of living in a refugee camp made me psychologically strong.

Nigeria is a West African nation of over 100 million energetic people. It is endowed with lots of natural resources but lacks human resources.

The greatest grand challenge for any scientist is discovering how to prevent the spread of HIV and finding the cure or an effective vaccine for AIDS.

I have expertise in five different fields which helps me to easily understand the analogy between my scientific problems and those occurring in nature.

Never become so much of an expert that you stop gaining expertise. View life as a continuous learning experience.

My main expertise is in the past, but if I have to extrapolate into the future, I would say: no good news any time soon and an obvious exit strategy is not apparent to me.

Very narrow areas of expertise can be very productive. Develop your own profile. Develop your own niche.

Right, but there's expertise and then there's inside information. And I think we have to make a distinction.

The bottom line to this is, there are few doctors who have any expertise in chemical exposure.

On the other hand, there would be some value in different folks getting together to share expertise and technology; but to the listener, it wouldn't necessarily seem like a single station in the traditional sense.
