Every background I have gives me a unique perspective in looking at the problem I am trying to solve. Never let what you don't have put you down. You can always look at things positively and negatively. Think of what you have and build on it. What you don't have doesn't matter because you can still learn it now.
Every day is a learning opportunity.
John Rogers Bell Labs Condensed Matter Physics Research John Rogers researches and develops new microfabrication and patterning techniques. The rubber stamp he's helped develop can imprint features on a variety of surfaces and materials that cannot be processed with conventional methods. This breakthrough innovation may lead to novel applications in the communications realm and plastic transistors with features as small as those in their silicon counterparts. I love discovering how something works, how to make it work better, and how to make things that are new and people haven't thought of before. I work with a variety of materials, many of them so small that you can't see them through even the most powerful optical microscopes.
