• I want upon death to be buried, just like in the old days, where I decompose by the action of microorganisms, and I am dined upon by any form of creeping animal or root system that sees fit to do so....

And in so doing, at the conclusion of my scientific adventures, I will have come closer to the heavens than to Earth.
