From scientist to editor

The reason was partly trivial: Vincent Dusastre, my boss at the time, asked me to think about a review article. I had only just arrived and the first thing that came to my mind was carbon electronics. Then I spoke to you, and you told me you didn’t want to write anything about carbon nanotubes. You would have happily written about graphene, but it was too early. Andre Geim had the same opinion, but he said that you and he would contact me as soon as you thought there was enough material. It was only about two or three months later that the two of you came back to me, and told me that you were ready to write.
