Kurt Wüthrich: Nobel prize-winning footballer
Kurt Wüthrich on sport, performance enhancement and Alpine retreats
Reading biographies had the greatest impact on my career. I remember in particular biographies of Robert Bunsen, Justus von Liebig, Albert Einstein and so on. All of those guys got their PhD at age 21 or 23. That was important to realise because it was typical to get a PhD at age 30. So I wasn’t shy to get a PhD at age 24. I’m serious! That had a big impact on me, to read how they came about to do something special, and do it early on.
