I had some leanings in that direction because I was inspired by a cousin of mine Ralph Doherty, who is quite a recognised research worker. I wanted to do research, so the agriculture department that had paid for my scholarship sent me to the bush where I encountered that which the Minister spoke of. I switched to medical research, I was no longer in the field, I was working in the laboratory, and so we eventually came to do this work in Canberra and my career has gone on from there. I didn't expect ever to be living in Tennessee, but that is where the money is and the resources are to maintain my program in a big way. This has been a fantastic community of dedicated people which has done an enormous amount in this country in a very efficient and cost-effective way.
Australian science is extremely cost-effective.
I think the return for the dollar is better than it is anywhere else that I know. The Nobel Prize has only come from this discovery, and they don't come very often. You have to be lucky. I was lucky, but there are a lot of people in this room who are just as good scientists as I am - or better in some cases, I believe. Thank you very much.
