Nobel Prize Winner for
Chemistry in 1993 and inventor of PCR, a method for detecting

it," he says. "I could sit on a DNA molecule and watch
the polymers go by. I learnt that partly on psychedelic drugs." |

"The music vibrated through my body as if I were one of the

becoming green, blue, orange. The waves of the sounds ran through
my hair like a caress." Yes, thank you.
