27 DAILY MICCAI that this really works. The people in my group really have trust, and they come, and they discuss it with me. That proves to me that there is some kind of trustful relation in our group. Of all the scientists you have met during your formative years, which one do you feel you learned the most from? I think it is super hard to give names, but I always enjoy the people most that do brilliant science but also have great personalities. People you can really look up to. Certainly, we have brilliant people in our community, but sometimes – yeah, I don’t want to finish that sentence! [she laughs] Sometimes you see some setbacks in their personality. I must say, I admire those people who also have the same ideas of creating a nice group but are in some way also, from a scientific point of view, very brilliant. Can you give us one learning that you think should be taught in every school? In my field, I have one, for instance, but maybe you do in your field, too. What is yours? I did an MBA, and there is one video that I think every single MBA should see when starting their master’s. It is a video with Christine Bourron about the ups and downs of the life of an entrepreneur. I love that video. It is so inspiring. Thank you for asking me about it, but I am sure that our readers are more eager to learn about your favorite learning. If someone new comes into our group, like a new PhD student, I usually try to arrange some time to sit with them and tell them how our group works and what our philosophy is, etc. What I used to say to these people is that often it is wrong to go for quick successes. You have to be persistent to really finish something. Often, you will have setbacks and have something that will not work out. The successful people don’t stop there. You always have to be flexible in your mind to adjust the original plan based on the experience you have had, and then, eventually, you reach a result you have not expected before, but you reach a result, and maybe that is even better than you thought in the beginning.
