      When you get to my age, being alive in ten years time is always the first objective.

      As for what I’d like to achieve, I’d like to think that in ten years time I was still doing and learning new things. By then, or even sooner, it’ll be really easy to sequence your entire genome (all your DNA) and it’ll be really cheap. In ten years we should also know much more about what each of the 25000 genes actually does. So I’d like to sequence my DNA and find out why I am me.
