      I would like important people in my field of research to know my name and respect the work I do – so famous amongst particle physicists yes. Aside from this I have no ambition to be a celebrity, but I do enjoy talking science.

      I would like to be know for doing a good job in my field, but celebrity lifestyle seems far to much effort.

      Not especially, it would be so weird not to be able to walk down the street without people recognising you. I want to be credible and respected, but I don’t aspire to be a celeb!
      I’d be interested to know if you would like to be famous, inesfontes?

      I’d hate to be famous! Prefer the stealth approach …
