  I would love to be known for a discovery that can trap all of the CO2 we have put in the air and stop and reverse the global warming. As humans we have done a lot of damage to the earth and being able to reverse it would be incredible. It would save so many animals/plants/habitats etc.

  I would have liked to discover the means for propelling a space craft to the stars without having to harvest all of the Earth’s resources.

  I wouldn’t mind being remembered for an equation. It would be a massive irony considering my stance on equations.
  
  But ideally I would like to be remembered for new processes to make key chemical intermediates – sustainable biotechnological processes that allow for mass production of some of the vital key materials we need, but without relying on oil or rare materials.
