"I'm actually really impressed that I understood that at one point!"
You, sir, just won the interwebs today! :D
I’ve always found it very interesting that his PhD is in physical chemistry, but yet he’s the NIH director. He’s had a very eclectic career.

Really needed to hear this, I think it'll be a big help for my mindset in the future

Interesting scientist. Fully agree and appreciate his perspective. However, these important scientist also create the modern systems of research that make of universities and research institutes work like markets economies. Like markets, the new manager ( less scientist) choose projects not in accordance with values of curiosity but instead of profitability.
As Alain Trautmann is cited in in Lab. Times (www.labtimes.org/epaper/LT_16_03.pdf), the situation
of Higher Education and Research “will continue to worsen as long as our societies
consider that the economy and profitability are the alpha and omega for the functioning
of all sectors in society.”
