On my 2007–2008 sabbatical, I spent eight months in Bangalore, India, at the National Center for the Biological Sciences in the laboratory of Jitu Mayor, adopted by three months at the ETH , Zurich, with Ari Helenius. Both had been unbelievable scientific opportunities and great “life” experiences for our family. I have been actively engaged with India on several initiatives since I returned. My two sabbaticals fulfilled their meant objective of generating new concepts and taking on new initiatives.
