Neuroscientist Thomas Südhof won the 2013 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. He credited his bassoon instructor as his most influential teacher for helping him to learn the discipline to practice for hours on end. http://news.stanford.edu/news/2013/october/sudhof-nobel-prize-100713.html

So how do you win the Nobel Prize? Well, you practice, and you practice, and you practice. ;)

Similar story for Jacques Monod.

Jacques Monod was a cellist and aspiring conductor. He had planned to write a book in which he would attempt to demonstrate that tonality-the tonal system- was actually a part of man's biological make-up and not just a man-made, arbitrary system. Unfortunately, he didn't live long enough to carry out this project. It's interesting to notice that so many scientific researchers and mathematicians are also accomplished amateur musicians.

Quite a few musicians take an interest in mathematics, too. Makes sense. Music is math we can hear.

Thanks, Ruben. There is a new book about Monod titled "Brave Genius", by Sean Carroll.
