Two questions, question 1: What made you want to go to science? Answer: "Early I was fascinated by learning, by gaining knowledge, by research. My father was also a researcher, which certainly helped me to follow this path." Question 2: Did you meet any barriers during your career as a scientific researcher? Answer: "Yes, several, but also to some extent difficult to grasp, fuzzy. In any case, the compatibility of family and career was not always easy."
